Niger: Magic and Ecstasy in the Sahel
Hisham Mayet presents a folk cinema celebration of life in the Sahel region of Africa, showcasing many of Niger’s venerable music styles. All spontaneously raw and sublimely beautiful performances, there’s Tuareg trance rock, a Bori cult dance ceremony, Fulani Folk, roadhouse gospel rave-ups and Mayet’s single camera testaments to Niger’s incendiary music.
