Houmeissa

Released

On Houmeissa, Nigerién keyboardist and composer Hama reinterprets the timeless sounds of the Sahel using his trusty synths and a “hacked copy of FruityLoops,” with stunning results. In his hands traditional Tuareg songs and ceremonial wedding chants become cosmic journeys to outer space and back, capturing the expansiveness of the desert, the drama of its brooding sandstorms, and the ancient traditions of its people.
