'Patriote' by Mamaki Boys is a shining example of localized global music. Hypnotic and driving rhythms built from sampled percussion and chopped-up instruments combined with syncopated staccato "ragga" inspired flow. Mamaki Boys was formed in 2002 by Aziz Tony, Bachou Issouf, and Salif André in the capital of Niger. On 'Patriote', Mamaki Boys sought to merge modern hip hop with traditional music, using Nigerien instruments like duma and kalango, which were sampled and looped over their compositions. A strong entry in 21st century global music, Mamaki Boys take back the tools of globalization, repurposing them in the fight for cultural identity. Comes on 45RPM vinyl.
