Exciting tunes coming in by way of the Republic of Niger of all places. Multi-instrumentalist Hama just released his second album Houmeissa via the West African/Portland Oregon collective and music label Sahel Sounds. On it he neatly combines a sort of mid 90s techno vibe with traditional Tuareq folk sounds and North African synths, creating a catchy and futuristic soundscape that is hard to resist. Attached below is Yeta Yeta, a bonus track off the LP, that nicely showcases his unique talent for creating deep melodies and grooves to get lost in. Houmeissa is out now, on the usuals.
