Also this is a river Niger music, the Niger River passes through many countries in West Africa, Nigeria, Niger, Mali, etc.

@Milisabelle You are wrnog, the Population of Niger is very diverse, this is a Nigerian band though, most of Niger is Hausa speaking, most of the people are Hausa or Songhai/Zarma in Niger also Fulani like me.

This is a Nigerian musical band from Liverpool,England.I happen to know the family ( the two beautiful young ladies and the gentleman on the Keyboard.I was browsing youtube and accidentally click on this video posting.Its lovely seeing them perform beautifully.

I think they mean the River Niger, a river which runs throughout West Africa, not Niger as in the country. This is a Nigerian group, particularly Yoruba's, judging from the names. The music gives it away as Nigerian anyways lol

btw: the main populations of Niger (the country) are Hausa, Djerma, Gurma, Fulani and Tuareg.
