For the year of 2020, Sahel Sounds presents "Music from Saharan WhatsApp." Every month, we'll be releasing an EP from a musical group in the Sahel. Every album will be recorded on a cellphone, transmitted over WhatsApp, and uploaded to Bandcamp, where it will live for one month only. Available for pay as you want, 100% of the sales will go directly to the artist or group. After one month, the album will be replaced by another one, until the end of the year.
Hama is an electronic musician based in Niamey, Niger. His instrumental compositions take familiar Nigerien folk music transposed through synthesizer. Heavily influenced by 90s hip hop and techno, Hama's unique sound is known throughout the country. In 2015, we reissued "Torodi", compiled from his signature Arabic synthesizer (unfortunately since destroyed in a house fire). In 2019, Hama created the multilayered "Houmeissa," with arrangements in FruityLoops and Reason. For this WhatsApp entry he returns to live recordings with a late night performance at home with a newly acquired synthesizer.
