Mamman Sani – Ya Bismillah {1985}

“In Niger we have sweet melodies. When the music is good, it’s a positive vibration. When someone can cry because of a melody, there is something humane in them. If you are stressed, you can take this music like a tablet. It’s music to cool down. It’s not music for dancing, but maybe it can make you dream.”

Don’t forget to check out his amazing early work from 1977, which was re-released by “Sahel Sounds Records”.
