Release Notes:

Mamane Malam Barka is so far the only master of the
Biram in Niger and all over the world. With the
assistance of Barka this unique instrument is not
dead. And when the old master handed over the
instrument to his successor he asked him to promote
the Biram and talk about it all over the world. As
an instrument played and appreciated by the
audience is not dead. The old master died in 2006.
Since then Malam Mamane Barka follows this
mission.He himself is a well know musician in
Niger, famous for many popular songs he composed in
the eighties and nineties. He used to play other
traditional string instruments, but today his
dedication is the BIRAM.

Mamane Malam Barka plays the Biram
Oumarou Adamou plays traditional nigerien
percussion: Kalangou, Calebasse and the Douma (the
spiritual drum)

Together with the producer Paul Borg the ensemble
Mamane Barka recorded last July the first album for
the international market in the famous Livingston
studios in London. The album was released April
22nd 2009 on the Introducing label of World Music
Network London.
