Description
This album features beautiful recordings from a 1980s all-girl elementary school group in Northern Niger. With accompaniment from their instructor on guitar, the group performs traditional Guinean folk music and pays tribute to early Ali Farka Touré. These folkloric songs celebrate culture, tradition, and highlight the significance of education in the nomadic world. This recording holds great importance in the evolution of Nigerian music and served as a foundation for modern female music troupes.
