Musique Touareg Recueillie Et Enregistrée Par L'Équipe J. Biltgen Et G. Royer

Musical compositions Tuaregs and Hausa recorded in Niger, around the city of Agadez and in the Air mountains in March and April 1957. Tracks A1 and A2 - music of healing dances of the Tuaregs of the Air mountains. Tuaregs believe that certain illnesses and ailments are caused by possession by "jinn". To heal a sick person, a preliminary diagnosis from a specialist is required, followed by music and dance to drive out the invading entity. A3, A4, B1 - Tuareg songs. A5, B3, B4 - Hausa songs. B2 - a concert of the Hausa in the house of a dignitary. B5 - a celebration of the Hausa in the palace of the Sultan of Agadez. One thing remains unclear: why is the album titled "Music of the Tuaregs" when the Hausa and Tuaregs are different peoples. On Discogs you can find information that on the back side of the record the title is actually "Music of the Tuaregs and Hausa from the Agadez region".
