Album DescriptionRecordings of the Beydane complete with 28 Tracks, a dozen different performers, & extensive liner notes in a 32 page booklet. In Mauritania's capital city, Nouakchot, you'll see thousands of 1 story buildings with the peaks of Bedouin tents rising from their walled courtyards or roofs, next to shacks pieced together from scraps of tin, wood & concrete blocks. Every few blocks, breaking up this architectural rhythm, you will see a few 2 story Moorish style palaces, their eggshell paint gleaming in the sun. You will also, inevitably, hear the music of the Beydane, which lives behind the walls, in the courtyards, & in the sandy open patches of these neighborhoods.
