Yassine Nana - Modern Pop from Mauritania 1984-89 LP

Coming Soon! This compilation brings together eight tracks by Yassine Nana and his group, recorded between 1984 and 1989, during a key moment in Mauritania’s musical history. These songs integrate drum machines, synthesizers and electric guitars into Saharan musical structures. Influenced by reggae, soul and new wave, the group develops a sound that reflects the circulation of music and technology in the 1980s, while remaining firmly rooted in Mauritanian languages, themes and melodic systems. <a href="https://yassine.bandcamp.com/album/modern-pop-from-mauritania-1984-1989">Modern Pop from Mauritania (1984-1989) by Yassine Nana</a>
