Music from Saharan cell phones vol 2
February 26, 2011
A friend sent me a link to this incredible free download. It’s not actually sounds from mobile phones but is a collection of raw, incredible, bluesy African music. Music from Saharan cell phones Vol 2 is from Mauritania and the music is collectively referred to as Jagwa east of Shinqit. All the mp3s were collected in the town of Kidal.
Sahelsounds say:
Some of the track titles are lost to the id3 dustbin of history, but the tracklist is best replicated here, with a few creative flourishes:
-
Side A:
- Mdou – Niger
- Mouma Bob – Imidi
- Amanar – Alghafait
- Fenomenal – Mix
- Polisario
- Jagwa
Side B:
- Pekele – Decale
- علي سيدح عبدي فون
- Yalah
- Lalal-Kanaye – Soul Tamasheq
- Mauritanie
- Nouakchott 48 hours
- Bayta – Aicha
