This is a Nigerian and Nigerien instrument very popular amongst the Hausa people. I think it was the Hausa that invented it and other groups like the Kanuri(Beri), Touareg and Fulbe use it.
@@up6652 That's very good! I think people don't understand that there are vast cultural similarities between people in North West Africa and North Africa.
@@MalamIbnMalam of course. Just look at the gnawa in Morocco, they literally have trance songs mentioning haousa, foula, and other groups like the bambara and songhai because many were captured from there after the siege of timbuktu. I'm moroccan and of Malian descent through my paternal grandfather. It's pretty clear. We have both influenced each other in many ways. For us moroccans we have plenty of similarities with mali especially. Senegal to a lesser degree but there's been a lot of cultural exchange on both sides. Look at the clothes, the salt, the words of the various languages, architectural styles... Etc. Europeans came and divided us though truthfully. It is sad that now there are so many dispersed nations despite ethnic and historical ties. Like Senegal and Gambia for example. Or Morocco and Algeria. I love the fact that in West Africa especially the sahel and Senegal, well the fact that great people like awliya like tijani... Shadhili and others are remembered. Or the amazigh awliya buried in timbuktu. I always say the heart of North African culture is amazigh and logically connected to our brothers and sisters of the South. And I'm not even a amazigh speaker it's just the truth
@@barca29npthis is why i dont like the term sub Saharan afeican. The europeans have divided us from our north african brothers and sisters and we continue to separate ourselves
I just noticed at 1:30 that the sound hadn't stopped coming out of the algaita. That's some impressive circle breathing, especially keep the note so strong the whole time.

@Scott Gardner: The algaita is not made from a gourd, it's a conical wood tube, just like the oboe.
