Smugglers Presents: Mamane Barka

mamanebarka.jpgSaturday 13th November, 7.30pm

Brought to the Astor by the Smugglers: the only master of the Biram in the world.

Mamane Barka, a nomad from the Toubou tribe, heard about the Biram some years ago and decided to stay with the old master to learn the Boudouma language and how to play the instrument. In 2002 he got a UNESCO scholarship to materialize his dream. After many rituals of purification the old master agreed to educate Malam Mamane Barka about the holy instrument and the lyrics of the mystical songs. As Barka himself is a son of the sand dunes, the old master gave him his last Biram as a gift.
