Music Of Western Sahara
The inhabitants of the Western Sahara have created both traditional as well as modern music styles. Sahrawi music shares much in common with neighbouring musical traditions, such as those of Mauritania and southern Morocco, and retains aspects of pre-colonial heritage. The '' tbal'' is the basic percussion instrument, while the traditional string instrument called ''Tidinit,'' has largely been replaced by the electric guitar. Some performers are tribespeople who lived a nomadic existence before the Western Sahara War against Morocco between 1975 and 1991, which was true of the family of Mariem Hassan. The first Sahrawi music album, titled ''Polisario vencerá'', was recorded live in Barcelona, in 1982 by the band Shahid El Uali. From 1998, Nubenegra (a Spanish music label) marketed several Sahrawi music CDs in the United States and Germany, with a first release of a three-disc box titled '' Sahrauis: The Music of the Western Sahara''.

The album reached Number 1 on the World Music Charts Europe (WMCE) in March 2010. "Shouka", the central song that titles the album, is a new experience in the Sahrawi music, as it is structured as a cantata. Taking the verses of Sahrawi poet Lamine Allal, Hassan developed a nine paragraph critical response to the 1976 speech of then Spanish opposition leader and later president of Spain Felipe González at the Sahrawi refugee camps (he compromised Spanish Socialist Workers' Party support to the Sahrawi people until "the final victory"), by using all scales and rhythms of the Haul. In this work, Mariem's group is completed with Lamgaifri Brahim (lead guitar) and Vadiya Mint El Hanevi (tbal, choruses and dances). Several other musicians contributed to the album, as Senegalese Malick Diaw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Deseos (Mariem Hassan Album)
''Deseos'' () is the 2005 debut solo album of the Sahrawi singer Mariem Hassan.
