{"product_id":"lingo-seini-et-son-groupe_musique-hauka_2020_mdl","title":"Musique Hauka","description":"This is one of the first albums of Hauka ritual music. These are sacred praises and incantations to call spirits to possess bodies. Call-and-response chants, the sound of a one-stringed lute, and relentless percussion combine in a dizzying and uninterrupted session. The Hauka movement began nearly a century ago and has persisted on the fringes of Nigerien society. Documented in Jean Rouch's 1955 film, 'Les Maîtres Fous', the Hauka are great spirits who are reflected in colonial and military personalities. At the heart of the religion is the possession ceremony, the \"Holley Hori,\" a ritual animated by music with military rhythms where spirits invade the body, manifesting themselves powerfully and violently. Lingo Seini has been playing ritual music for nearly 60 years, having learned from his father. He is joined by his son Youssouf on the calabash and Issaka Moulla, who plays his handmade kuntigi. The group regularly accompanies Hauka priests during ceremonies. Recorded with a single microphone in the suburbs of Niamey.","brand":"Lingo Seini Et Son Groupe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55312087187800,"sku":null,"price":23860578.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0602318137241_7ada38c0-04cd-435e-8924-c84675a2289e.jpg?v=1760320794","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/lingo-seini-et-son-groupe_musique-hauka_2020_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
