		The two groups’ territories overlap in Niger and Nigeria, and it was in Niger that representatives of these two very distinct groups (six Wodaabe and four Tuareg) first met in 2004 to form Etran Finatawa or “Stars of Tradition”.
		Music is an integral part of both tribes’ daily lives, serving both mundane and supernatural functions.
		These nomads use music to pass the time on long journeys or in the fields and forests with their livestock, as in the rock-steady “Iledeman.” They incorporate it into their healing rituals, as in “Maleele”, a Wodaabe traditional song, which calls out the spirit of a beautiful girl to treat the sick.

		Niger is a landlocked sub-Saharan country in Western Africa situated north of Nigeria and Benin, east of Mali, and south of Algeria and Libya, named after the Niger river.
		Niger straddles the Sahel, the unforgiving boundary zone in north-central Africa where the greener climes of the south give way to sandy soil and stunted vegetation and then to the dry silence of the Sahara.
		The upper Niger, from the source past the fabled trading city of Timbuktu (spelled Tombouctou in French, the language of Mali) to the bend in the current river, once emptied into a now-gone lake, while the lower Niger started in hills near that lake and flowed south into the Gulf of Guinea.

	World Music Central - Mamar Kassey - Alatoumi
		Even if your global music collection is fairly extensive, chances are you don't own a great deal of music from Niger.
		It just so happens that the music of Niger hasn't been as widely recorded and distributed as that of some other African countries in the same general area (Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, etc.), and if the high quality of Alatoumi is any indication, it's a shame.
		Anyone who may have regarded Niger as a non-presence on the music map had better seriously change their way of thinking.
