HAMA
HOUMEISSA (SAHEL SOUNDS)
Nigerian composer Hama presents a groundbreaking album of traditional electronic desert folk songs, hovering somewhere between early 90s techno and synthwave.
Nomadic herding ballads, ancient caravan songs, and ceremonial wedding chants are all re-imagined into pieces seemingly lifted from a Saharan 1980s sci-fi soundtrack or score to a Tuareg video game.
With a deep love and respect, Hama effortlessly takes back and re-appropriates fourth-world ethnoambient music.
