Album US 2012 on Sublime Frequencies label
World (African)
Condensed from 40 hours of footage shot between 2007 and 2012 along the Niger River—which the Tuareg call Egerew n-Igerewen, or "River of Rivers"— as it winds through Mali and the Republic of Niger. Included are views of ecstatic dance in the painted houses of the island-dwelling Wogo; the courtship rites and trance vocals of young Wodaabe men; a Tuareg and Zarma duet for guitar and molo; Hausa griots enchanting with comsaa strings; Zarma spirit possession ceremonies; and footage of the Dogon mask ritual atop the Bandiagara Escarpment in the village of Endele. Digipak; all-region DVD. Limited one-time edition of 1000 copies. © Sublime Frequencies 2010 [film credits] © 2012 Sublime Frequencies [cover]
