The Tuareg are a minority in Niger, which, like most African nations, contains many ethnicities. We will hear one side from each of the two lp's which comprise this fantastic snapshot of Nigerien music which Hisham Mayet recorded between 2004 and 2014 over the course of six expeditions to Niger. We heard side B last week, so side A begins today! With Hausa, Fulani, Zarma, and Songhai music. |

"Aeriality" by Anna Thorvaldsdottir is a primal and volcanic orchestral piece, bringing to mind the rocky and volcanic landscape of Iceland's interior. There is great focus on texture and subtle shifts in its massive structure. This is contemporary orchestral music as its best! Don't miss the rare chance to hear it live in Ottawa next week! https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/30031 |
