B. Ethnomusicological Music Studio and Field Recordings 

The following are the ethnomusicological recordings I did as part of the digital archiving project to preserve the poetics of Hausa traditional musics and performances (DVDs available]. These recordings are not meant to be commercial, but deposited on the web (www.auadamu.com) where they can be shared with the world as part of contribution towards archiving and sharing traditional musical heritages of the Muslim peoples of northern Nigeria. Those not uploaded had copyright restrictions from Maison du Culture des Monde. 

1. [2011] Beggar Minstrels from Northern Nigeria - In Memory of Muhammad Ɗahiru Daura. This was a re-recording of the poetics of a blind beggar minstrel, Muhammad Ɗahiru Daura (1946-2010) by another group of blind beggar minstrels led by Tafida Makaho. All the known performances of Ɗahiru Daura were re-recorded in this session.
