This is an old clip of a Songhai dance from Tillaberi, Niger, West Africa. Was taped off Nigerien TV.
btw Eid Mubarak! / Barka da Salla!
Instruments:
DOODO= talking drum (Hausa: KALANGU)
TSIRIKI= traditional flute
GOJE = fiddle (Hausa: GOGE, Northern Sonrai= NJARKA)
This really makes me miss home every time I watch this song. The beauty of our women, the exact synchopation and wonderful movements. They make us Sahelian Africans look so bad in America, trying to put our culture down. I will never forget where I'm from K'asar Afuruka, bak'ar fata

This is Sonrai music in it's purest form.
