Noura Mint Seymali's Return Journey

Music Planet

Available for 2 days

Lopa Kothari selects new roots-based music from across the world. Plus, Mauritanian griot Noura Mint Seymali shares two tracks of personal significance - one that she encountered on her travels and one that reminds her of home. Descending from one of the most respected Moorish griot families, Noura Mint Seymali has been developing her spiritual music practice since childhood. From composing and singing for her step-mother to evolving an idiosyncratic musical style blending traditional singing accompanied on the ardin, a traditional 9-stringed harp historically reserved for women, with psychedelic grooves, she has contributed to popularising Mauritanian music all over the world. Her new album, Yenbett, is coming out in November. Produced by Silvia Malnati A Reduced Listening production for 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 鈥淎sk 蜜芽传媒 Sounds to play Music Planet.鈥
