Here is the second volume of Haussa Music. The following posts will be all over the place, but of course never leaving the Luobaniyan realms. I.e. some African some South East Asian some South Indian some Bärenreiters some Ocoras and if we are lucky  and I think we may be there will be some nice Algerian Malouf stuck in there now and then as well! All in all there seems to be a very bright future for Luobaniyans! Well, frankly speaking it is looking good for anyone really that likes even just a brief visit as they can be certain of a very smooth passage. Hope you enjoy!
