Spanning the late 1950s to the late 1970s, this selection highlights Venezuela’s take on big band cumbia. With strong ties to Colombian cumbia, especially in cities like Maracaibo and Caracas, local orchestras blended its rhythms with their own style. Some tracks reinterpret Colombian classics with a distinct Venezuelan touch, while many are original compositions that showcase the country’s unique approach to the genre.

Azna De L'Ader

Azna De L'Ader

Azna De L'Ader has been played on NTS in shows including Awkward Movements, featured first on 24 April 2016. Songs played include Ya Manina, Zalouma and Arne.

Azna de L'Ader was not only the first rock band in Niger but possibly the most psychedelic. This is West Africa’s answer to Zamrock.

Led by Niger guitar legend Mona - known for his Hendrix inspired outfits and guitar playing - Azna plays in a style deeply indebted to Western rock, but infused with local rhythms. The name Azna is a reference to the pre-Islamic animist religions of central Niger, and the trance inducing music of the Bori possession cults.

Playing in their home country for 40 years and one of the first generation of modern music in Niger, Azna de L'Ader lived in a remote region and never released any recordings until now. This compilation highlights some of their only recordings left, compiled from the remaining archives of one of Niger's most famous unknown bands.
