Zarma-language music from Niger with that tell-tale melodic shape and Sahelian rhythmic lilt plus, crucially, additional left-field electronic quirks. Let it set you on a specific kind of new path to polyrhythmic greatness. Long workouts layering ostinatos, what I adore about Tendé music. Give me more. The mystery track is next level. Here’s more info on this tape.

Hi There,
I was wondering what’s involved in using one of your tracks on a surf / skate video we filmed in Sri Lanka recently?
