INFORMATION ABOUT BURKINA FASO
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burkina_Faso
Burkina Faso ... is a landlocked country in West Africa around 274,200 square kilometres (105,900 sq mi) in size. It is surrounded by six countries: Mali to the north; Niger to the east; Benin to the southeast; Togo and Ghana to the south; and Ivory Coast to the southwest. Its capital is Ouagadougou. In 2014, its population was estimated at just over 17.3 million.[1] Burkina Faso is a francophone country. It has a population of 18.7 million as of 2016.
Formerly called the Republic of Upper Volta, the country was renamed "Burkina Faso" on 4 August 1984 by then-President Thomas Sankara. Residents of Burkina Faso are known as Burkinabé ... French is an official language of government and business...
Ethnic groups in Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso's 17.3 million people belong to two major West African ethnic cultural groups—the Voltaic and the Mande (whose common language is Dioula). The Voltaic Mossi make up about one-half of the population. The Mossi claim descent from warriors who migrated to present-day Burkina Faso from the area of Ghana Empire about 1100 AD. They established an empire that lasted more than 800 years. Predominantly farmers, the Mossi kingdom is led by the Mogho Naba, whose court is in Ouagadougou."..

INFORMATION ABOUT ZAZZAU EMIRATES
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zazzau
The Zazzau, also known as the Zaria Emirate is a traditional state with headquarters in the city of Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. As of 2010 the emir was Alhaji Shehu Idris.[1]
Early Hausa kingdom
Our most important source for the early history of Zazau is a chronicle composed in the early twentieth century from oral tradition. It tells the traditional story of the foundation of the Hausa kingdoms by Bayajidda, a culture hero and gives a list of rulers, along with the length of their reigns. According to this chronology, the original Hausa or Habe kingdom is said to date from the 11th century, founded by King Gunguma.[2] This source also makes it one of the seven Hausa Bakwai states. Zazzau's most famous early ruler was Queen (or princess) Amina, who ruled either in the mid-fifteenth or mid-sixteenth centuries, and was held by Muhammed Bello, an early nineteenth century Hausa historian and the second Sultan of Sokoto, to have been the first to establish a kingdom among the Hausa.[3]
Zazzau was a collection point for slaves to be delivered to the northern markets of Kano and Katsina, where they were exchanged for salt with traders who carried them north of the Sahara.[4] According to the history in the chronicle, Islam was introduced to the kingdom around 1456, but appears to have spread slowly, and pagan rituals continued until the Fulani conquest of 1808. At several times in its history, Zazzau was subject to neighboring states such as Songhai, Bornu and Kwararafa.[5]
Later Fulani emirate
In December 1808 the kingdom was captured in the Fulani jihad.[6] The Hausa ruler had escaped to Abuja, where he established a state now known as the Suleja Emirate, retaining his independence and the title of "Sarkin Zazzau". The ruler of the modern Zazzau Emirate also uses the title "Sarkin Zazzau" or "Sarkin Zaria". After the jihad, the culturally similar but pastoral or nomadic Fulani intermarried with the more settled Habe farmers, and the people of the Emirate today are generally known as Hausa-Fulani. The government of the Zaria Emirate differed from other emirates created at this time in that offices were rarely hereditary, but were appointed based on merit or obligation.[5]"...

Example #4: Mai Abin Dadi [Rare, VHS Rip - Nairori version]
Barmani Choge Channel, Published on Apr 23, 2013
This is the AUDIO recording ONLY of the musics of Hajiya Sa'adatu Barmani Choge (1945-2013). She was a griot from the city of Funtua, in Katsina State of northern Nigeria. All her performances were in the Hausa language of northern Nigeria. Her band plays with calabashes of various sizes, but all faced down on the floor; with one faced down in a large bowl of water giving 'bass' sound, while the others give out a dry cracking sound. The players use the edge of their palms as percussion while at the same time clacking on the calabash. There are two videos in this channel showing them doing this.
I have uploaded about 27 of her songs (plus additional two 'reloads') as video files to a dedicated channel I created for her music on YouTube. This is one of them. Please note this NOT a moving image -- it is static picture of Barmani against the background of a particular song. When you download this, you are only downloading essentially an audio file with a static image in a video form. It is easier to do this than to upload the audio files into servers such as Rapidshare which may be too fiddly for many people.
If you wish to see her actual video performance, look around this channel where I have also uploaded her last recorded stage performance which I recorded in January 2008 at a concert at the British Council offices in Kano, northern Nigeria. I have also included a TV studio video performance of one of her songs (Mai Abin Dadi) on this channel, as well as FOHAPA channel.
The songs are of varying recorded quality. I obtained them mainly from Kano cassette shops and ripped them into MP3s with enhancements -- giving an uneven sonic structure. Enjoy them for what they are -- because this is all there is to it, warts and all. Don't ask for more, because this is my entire catalogue of her music. I don't have anymore -- if you do, let me have them and I can upload them here. Don't ask for 'better' recording because this is the best I can do. Although extremely popular at live gigs during women's ceremonies and college students' social functions (though not club circuits as such entertainment structure does not exist in Muslim northern Nigeria) Barmani was recorded once by EMI (Nigeria) Ltd (now Ivory Music) who released a tape of her songs titled 'Hajiya Barmani Choge & Her Group'. The tape has a catalog number NEMI (LP) 0483. No date was printed on the cover, and I assume the tape was transferred from a vinyl album master probably in April 1983 (the picture of Barman on the cover of the tape is decidedly that of a younger person). Its track listing is as follows: (Side A) Mai Soso Ke Wanka, Wakar Choge, Zage Zogala, (Side B) Wakar Duwaiwai, Wakar Alhazawa, Wakar Sakarai. A look at EMI (Nigeria) Ltd listing on Discogs does not show Barmani Choge as one of the artists for the label.
Polygram Records (Nigeria) (now Premier Music) also recorded one cassette of Barmani's songs in 1987 when the company released a tape titled 'Mai Soso Ke Wanka' with a catalogue number POLP 162. It has six tracks -- (Side A) Mai Soso Ke Wanka, Gwarne Ikon Allah, Wakar Da'a, (Side B) Maras Sana'a, Sama Ruwa Kasa Ruwa, Alhazawa (which she refers to as Lallailallai Mu Mu Na Zuwa).
The fact that the two major record companies in Nigeria recorded Barmani's 10 performances, within just three years of each other, reveals the dearth of her catalogue. (I have generously included some of these cassette recordings in this channel). However, her most memorable performances were captured by freelance ethnomusicologists, such as Musa Nasale in Kano, who recorded her songs on many occasions on tapes and released them publicly. Most of the audio recordings on this channel are from these 'street' recordings. ..
These 'sleeve notes' accompany all the song uploads, although with additional notes as peculiar to a particular song, if necessary.
Apologies for the long notes, but if you have gotten this far, then my 'hula' off to you, for you must be either a) a dedicated Barmani fan, or b) a genuine ethnomusicologist! Enjoy!!

Moroccan (Non-Berber) Dance Party Video
Edited by Azizi Powell
This post showcases a video of dancing in Morocco at a party that was held in 2007 to thank volunteer American doctors.
Although the title of this video includes the word "Berber", a number of commenters posted on its viewer discussion thread that this music and dance aren't Berber. A number of other commenters described this dance as one in which the men parodied certain dances that are performed by women only.
The content of this post is provided for cultural, entertainment, and aesthetic purposes.
I'm featuring this video in this blog not only for its music and dancing but to share a sampling of the comments that were made in the video's discussion thread. Some of these comments are followed by explanatory quotes from online sources.
Thanks to all those who are featured in this video. Thanks also to all those who are quoted in this post, and thanks to the publisher of this video on YouTube.

"this monkey danse aint berber culture, its more a kind of show to entertain silly tourists. berber muzic is music of a man's heart not jumping an acrobatics..these are Jebala from the north of morocco."
-snip-
"Monkey dance" reads to me like an insult which may or may not have racist (or ethnic) connotations.
Here's information about the Jebalas:
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jebala_people
"The Jebala (Arabic: جبالة, Moroccan Arabic:Jbala) are an ethnic group of north-western Morocco
Etymology
The word Jbala comes from Arabic Jbel which means mountain. Thus Jbala means mountain people. A man or boy is called a Jebli while a woman or a girl is called a Jebliya.[1]
Origins
The Jebala are mostly of Berber origin;[2] they adopted the Arabic language between the 10th and 15th centuries, influenced by Arabic-speaking townspeople of northern Morocco and Al-Andalus and the fact that their land lies on the route between these places.[3] Before the arrival of the Banu Hilal and Banu Sulaym Arabs in the 12th century, the Jebala country was the only rural region where Arabic was spoken, and it still remains the only significant rural region where a non-bedouin Arabic dialect is spoken."...

The video uploader (who uses the name "moroccan treasures") commented that he or she added the word "Berber" to that video title as a tab, so that interested people would be aware of it.

" "Berber" ... a tribe or region in the Northern part of Maroc.
It shouldn`t be used to describe these men from the South, who are presenting a very tourist-type kitsch mix of music and certainly the dance steps have little in common with traditional Berber dances.
" Berber" is more than just a word for search engines, it refers to a people , a tribe if you will, like the Sioux or the Pashtuns... a little bit of accuracy in semantics helps everyone.

Notice that this commenter describes these performers as being "from the South". However, the other commenters who shared information about where this dance came from, indicate that it comes from the Northern part of Morocco.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darija
"Darija (Arabic: الدارجة), means "everyday/colloquial language";[1] it also appears as ad-dārija, derija or darja. It refers to any of the varieties of colloquial Arabic subsumed under Maghrebi Arabic. Like all colloquial Arabic varieties, it is generally used for everyday speech, in TV plays, drama, some advertising, social networking, etc., with Modern Standard Arabic (الفصحى (al-)fuṣḥā), French, or other languages used for formal speech and for written communication. Darija shares the majority of its vocabulary with standard Arabic, but it also includes significant borrowings from Berber (Tamazight) substrates,[2] as well as extensive borrowings from French, and to a lesser extent Castilian Spanish and even Italian (primarily in Libya) – the languages of the historical colonial occupiers of the Maghreb. Darija is spoken and to various extents mutually understood in the Maghreb countries, especially Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, but can often be unintelligible to speakers of other Arabic dialects. Darija continues to evolve by integrating new French or English words, notably in technical fields, or by replacing old French and Spanish ones with Standard Arabic words within some circles.
In contrast, the colloquial dialects of more eastern Arab countries, such as Egypt, Jordan and the Sudan, are usually known as al-‘āmmīya (العامية), though Egyptians may also refer to their dialects as el-logha-d-darga.
Darija can refer to:
Algerian Arabic
Ḥassāniyya, spoken by the Saharans in Mauritania, Western Sahara, Morocco and Algeria.
Libyan Arabic
Moroccan Arabic
Tunisian Arabic"

"this monkey danse aint berber culture, its more a kind of show to entertain silly tourists. berber muzic is music of a man's heart not jumping an acrobatics..these are Jebala from the north of morocco."

"Monkey dance" reads to me like an insult which may or may not have racist (or ethnic) connotations.
Here's information about the Jebalas:
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jebala_people
"The Jebala (Arabic: جبالة, Moroccan Arabic:Jbala) are an ethnic group of north-western Morocco
Etymology
The word Jbala comes from Arabic Jbel which means mountain. Thus Jbala means mountain people. A man or boy is called a Jebli while a woman or a girl is called a Jebliya.[1]
Origins
The Jebala are mostly of Berber origin;[2] they adopted the Arabic language between the 10th and 15th centuries, influenced by Arabic-speaking townspeople of northern Morocco and Al-Andalus and the fact that their land lies on the route between these places.[3] Before the arrival of the Banu Hilal and Banu Sulaym Arabs in the 12th century, the Jebala country was the only rural region where Arabic was spoken, and it still remains the only significant rural region where a non-bedouin Arabic dialect is spoken."...

Quote about the word "Amazigh"
From http://www.journeybeyondtravel.com/news/morocco-travel/morocco-travel-berbers.html
"You are headed to the African nation of Morocco. Your Moroccan tour operator has told you about visiting Berber villages. You have heard all about the Berber craftsmen, their knowledge of the land, some of their indestructible history and maybe a bit more. Or perhaps you’ve never heard of them at all. Just who are these Berber people? A Moroccan pre-Arab culture has ruled unperturbed and unconquered for hundreds of years. Let’s take a look at this amazing people.
Morocco Berber History
Believe it or not, Berber history goes back to prehistoric times. They’ve been around for at least 4000 years or maybe more. Calling themselves Amazigh, the proud raiders, they fought against the Romans, Arab, and French invaders. Even though the Romans and others have tried to colonize the Berber people, they have managed to preserve their own language and culture and in reality were never beaten!"...

Example #8: Moroccan Traditional Berber Music
brahim guidee, Published on Mar 4, 2014
http://bestofcrafts.blogspot.com
From the old folk pieces of the Berber mountain communities, to the Arab-Andalusian Moroccan musicof the cities, to the roots-fusion that you'll discover blaring from taxi radios and café ghetto blasters, Moroccan music is the supreme expression of Morocco's culture.
Morocco is a potent land in terms of musical abilities and production. All around the land you will all of the time ear Moroccan musicon the streets, taxis, buses, restaurants, and even people singing or playing drums on the streets. Generally speaking, Moroccans are quite active in terms of musicality and dance. Moroccan music features two different ambiances given both by Arabic music and also Berber music.
There are many genres of Moroccan music. It includes Arab, Berber, classical, and popular elements. Musicians perform in concerts, in cafes, at private homes, ceremonies, marriages, funerals, and religious processions. It is also used to accompany dancing and storytelling.

Excerpt from http://esatexas.homestead.com/culture.html
"The Music
Ethiopian music is awesome. The different beats give way to different forms of dancing from different areas of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Orthodox church service is also follows a form of music that came from St. Yared. Traditional instruments include "kebero" (drum), "kirar" (upright guitar), "washint" (flute), "masinko" (upright violin), and "begena" (harp)
The Dancing
"Chewata" is the Ethiopian term for dance and it is used for many types of dancing. "Eskista" is the most commonly seen form. Other types include "Ye Gurage Cheweta", "Ye Tigrigna Chewata", "Ye Tembein Chewata", "Ye Wolayta Chewata", "Ye Oromo Chewata", "Ye Sodere Chewata" and other variations on "eskista" for the Gojam and Wolo area."

Excerpt from http://development.thinkaboutit.eu/think3/post/ethiopian_traditional_dance_eskesta/ Ethiopian traditional dance: Eskesta
Martina Petkova,Published 29th July 2010
..."the Ethiopian name “Eskesta” means actually “Dancing shoulders”; it is often practiced in the Northern parts of Ethiopia (Amhara group) where the indigenous tribes of Amhara, Wollo, Gondar etc. are still performing the dance of Eskesta. The motives and characteristics of the dance are often interchanged during the dance by the performers of the variety of war songs, hunting songs, Shepherd songs, love songs and work songs. The best dancer is appointed to the leader of the group and respectively the best singer...
Theme, symbols & rituals – the theme of this type of the dance can be described as follows – expressing certain emotions and impressions from the life through – typical body movement dating back to an Ethiopian tribe (Amhara region), performing these mainly with their heads and shoulders. These significant movements are having a great impact on the Ethiopian indigenous society as a whole. Some of the ideas and themes in this dance are actually inspired from the relations between the genders, work life and religion.
It also is said that this dance was invented because of the snakes. Ethiopian people were often observing the “dance”/movements of the snake, shaking in the same way their neck. On the other hand, in the sphere of indigenous Ethiopian music the influence of the rattlesnake while shaking its tail (the sound it produces) has created a certain way of singing as well.
Furthermore, other symbols and rituals that can be described are these connected with the costumes which each dancer wears. They are often made of woven cotton called “gabbi” or “netella” and painted with different colors depending on the gender of the dancer.
Technique – dance performed both from men and women with their head, neck, chest and shoulders, shaking in specific ways; the music played during the dance is often produced with the traditional Ethiopian instruments like krar, flute, drums and mesenko. The dancers sometimes sing or in some places of the dance utilize the silence in order to stress out some prevailing moments of the dance. There are however some variations depending on the areas in which this dance is performed – Wollo, Gondar or Gojjam."...

INFORMATION ABOUT FULA PEOPLE
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fula_people
The Fula people or Fulani or Fulɓe (Fula: Fulɓe; French: Peul; Hausa: Fulani; Portuguese: Fula; Wolof: Pël; Bambara: Fulaw) are one of the largest ethnolinguistic groups in Africa, numbering approximately 40 million people in total. They are one of the most widely dispersed and culturally diverse of the peoples of Africa.[18] The Fulani are bound together by the common language of Fulfulde, as well as by some basic elements of Fulbe culture, such as The pulaaku , a code of conduct common to all Fulani groups.
A significant proportion of their number, (an estimated 13 million), are nomadic, making them the largest pastoral nomadic group in the world.[19] Spread over many countries, they are found mainly in West Africa and northern parts of Central Africa, but also in Sudan and Egypt...
Total population:
c. 40 Million +
significant concentrations in:
Nigeria, Guinea, Cameroon, Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Chad
****
Music
The Fula have a rich musical culture and play a variety of traditional instruments including drums, hoddu (a plucked skin-covered lute similar to a banjo) and riti or riiti (a one-string bowed instrument similar to a violin), in addition to vocal music. The well known Senegalese Fula popular musician Baaba Maal sings in Pulaar on his recordings. "Zaghareet" or ululation is a popular form of vocal music formed by rapidly moving the tongue sideways and making a sharp, high sound.
Fulani music is as varied as its people."...

INFORMATION ABOUT ABOU DJOUBA DEH
From http://www.natari.com/senegal.htm
ABOU DJOUBA DEH ET LE JAARE N'GENNDY
"Quite an interesting style to Abou's mbalax as his incisive vocals put the bite on your ears one minute while his softer side is quite hypnotic the next. The music from the seven members of the group is a pleasure to listen to with the twinkling strings of Mamadou Sy and Djiby Dia's xalams up front and competeing with Moussa Ngning and Elle Mbaye's drumming. Nice bit of keyboard play from Aziz and Baidy Diallo which adds to the overall difference. ( F.T.Index:Cemmedel Kessel, Dewgal, Mounal, Jam E Kasamaas, Dimo, Dental. ) [6T/36M]"

Album review: ABOU DJOUBA TEDDOUNGAL TORO TEDDO TC 6.50 COL
"A lovely album of traditional Fula style music that's just full of tinkling xalam, hoddou and kora, plus percussion from tama, talmbatt, etc. Abou is an immensly popular and also a very powerful singer not just in his own ethnic area but is also much appreciated in Dakar. His style is quite similar to Baaba Maal so if you like Baaba then you'll love this one from Abou. Beautiful and atmospheric. (F.T.INDEX: Doro Dia, Demiba, Diao Dia, Poullo-Oro, Yobe-Garr, Cire Kane, Thilo Ba, Bodial.) [8T/30M] "
