The Hassan Wayam Sessions - Exclusive to VEN

The Last of the Mohicans. Alhaji Hassan Wayam remains the last of the traditional Hausa goge (Fiddle) players. Here he is, live and glorious 4k (YouTube may downgrade it, though) for all posterity. Absolutely my best (together with late Graba Supa), he produces music of excellent quality accompanied by lyrics that simply pay homage to life. Unstructured, yes, but the focus is on enjoyment, rather than classical poetics. This is a beta version of the recording. It is still being edited - but only the credits remain. Might post the full edits if chanced, but what you see here is all there is -- and remember this is the ONLY place you will get it; if it appears in any other place, it is pirated. But free license is given to the pirates! Spread the word of Hassan Wayam's beautiful legacy!Specially sponsored for this channel by private efforts and under the aegis of Visually Ethnographic Networks. The interviews were conducted by Dr. Nura Ibrahim and Dr. Muhammad Sani Danja of the Department of Information and Media Studies, Bayero University, Kano, with some support from Dr. Maude Rabi'u Gwadabe. It was recorded in the summer of 2019. Enjoy!Abdalla6th November 2019
