A celebration of life in the Sahel region of Africa, this film showcases many of Niger's venerable music styles. Tuareg Electric Guitar trance rock, Bori cult dance ceremonies, Fulani Folk, and Roadhouse Gospel Rave-ups are some of the segments included in this latest "Folk Cinema" classic from Sublime Frequencies! Filmed in December of 2004 on location in Niger, Hisham Mayet delivers a spontaneous, raw, and inspiring collection of images, music, and ceremony (again with a single camera presentation) from a nation mired in poverty and continual post-colonial disappointment. Quoting from Mayet's liner notes: "This is not music as commodity, this is music as survival. There is a saying in Niger that goes, "when we die we know we are going to heaven because we already live in Hell" well I think its more like the purgatory that we all live in and they sure have managed to transcend with an incredible natural resource: Music. Dig it!"

please learn more about these issues.sudan is a different country.its arabs that are killing other africans in sudan.u can tell these are black africans,not arabs.
Yeah, but why would it matter what the fuck they where? IT DOESN'T! Race doesn't mean shit, and muslim predates christianity, so, don't got there. The muslim nations arent the one with nuclear bombs capable of destroying the entire planet, they aren't playing "world police" and they ARE acting in defense because foreign solders are on their land.... the whole war could have been avoided if the US didn't station troops in muslim countries.... ITS THAT FUCKING SIMPLE !!!
