There is something instantly familiar about “Tamiditine,” the opening track on Moussa Tchingou’s EP by the same name. With its melodic, searching guitar line set against the consistent drumming patterns, the intro has an Afro-Cuban tinge to it, but the track is actually based on the Indian song “Tum Hi Ho” from the 2013 film Aashiqui 2. “Tamiditine” nicely encapsulates Moussa Tchingou’s approach to music and captures the cosmopolitanism of the wider Agadez scene: an Indian melody, Nigerian-influenced autotuned vocals (Nigerian music is popular in Niger, and many Agadez studios are modeled on Nigerian studios), and Tamachek lyrics that all come together in an unmistakably Nigerien sound.
