Hausa music I love very much!!!. I had earlier influence with Hausa gentlemen living amongst us in Ijebuland. I am fascinated with their GOJE playing abilities. Their music orientation is very diverse than most people because you can't see an Hausa man without an expensive 'transistor radio'.They are current with world affairs and music of the world. They like our Ijebuland ethnic music to death because HARUNA ISHOLA play there all the time. His best place to gig. I NEED TO GET INTO IT!!!.
While 3000 years ago it was sexy to come home with a death head and seduce a woman with it, nowadays this wil absolutely not work anymore. Between the mediteranian sea and 50 km under the desert they still use these practices. If Hausa mix with Indians? The love must be strong, Asians are so different.
What a bit funny is, is that mostly Europeans do not know their own stam. Me I am Eburoon. We used to hang the dead head of our enemies around the neck of our horses and by our front door. They called us primitive. If they still could talk. I guess in a few years you gonna loose your traditional habits too. It is a pity.
@tqlo, "And yes, the first guy is dressed in drag": What the man has on doesn't answer to the meaning of "drag". He is wearing a flowing gown, known as "babanriga" in Hausa or "agbada" in another Nigerian language. It looks flimsy because the fabric is a poor man's option, and the man probably put it on because of the very context of the social environment -- the dust, the slapstick revelry, etc. You could call it "rags", but then the criterion would have to be yours and not the dancer's.
"agbada" is a yoruba word for over gown that is worn on top of the trouser and blouse . the more elaborate the more money you spend on intricate work etc and the type of material used depends on how much money you can spend on what type of cloth from brocade to damask to lace .. or printed dutch or english wax clothes..
RUBBISH that the Hausa mixed with Indians! The only reason y der is Indian influence in modern Hausa movie songs is bcoz bollywood is popular there! It isn't traditional! Even if you hear dat stuff (i gotta few vids on my account), you'll see dat traditional Hausa (and other inland West African groups) music is purely W. African, without any Western influence. Jst look for other West African singers like Oumou Sangare or Afel Bocoum from Mali you'll see its similar..
Why do southerners think that northern music is "foreign" just because the music doesn't sound like theirs?? Don't you know that the so-called "traditional" music of Christianized groups in Africa have had massive amounts of 16th-18th century European Gospel music influence?? Trust me I studied it! :)
As I said before, the purest West African music is played in the majority of West African regions: from Senegal, Mali and Guinea to northern Ghana, northern Nigeria and Niger.
btw :oh yeah, Ethiopian Amharic people are actually Christians and belong to one of the OLDEST Churches on earth: the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Its true, just google it.
anak you are full of sh*t buddy amharic is a baby language only 1000 years old,infact amharic,gurage and harari are the newest languages in east africa when you compare that with the tigre 4500 yrs,tabdawi beja 7000-8000 yrs,kunama and nara at least 6000 years and other afro asitaic language,wake up buddy amhar-nya is just a mixture of like 10 languages developed in 1100ad by the za-agwe dynasty in abbysinia,and there is 30-40% muslim amhara ppl been converting for the last 1500 yrs.

you are correct, but the correct spelling is "babariga" in Hausa, Agbada is the Yoruba word.

hausa are muslim, so therefore there music would have arabic influences and sounds, which u might mistake for indian influences.
