They fought with the sticks, knife, lance and their ideologies, not with guns.<br \/>\nWe thank God that today Niger is a peaceful country. We sing the names of these warriors from the past for the young people who don\u2019t go to school and who would otherwise not know their story.<br \/>\nTal National also has warriors who help them to promote our music in Niger.

With its lightning fast rhythms and rotating cast of vocalists can be heard the history of Niger as a cultural crossroads along ancient trade routes. Collected within the former French colony can be found Songhai, Fulani, Hausa, and Tuareg populations, all of whom are represented in Tal National\u2019s members. In the music we hear the rolling 12\/8 rhythms in the Hausa&rsquo;s Fuji percussion, the pensive aridity of the Tuareg&rsquo;s assouf or \u00ab\u00a0blues,\u201d and the exquisite \u00ab\u00a0griot guitar\u00a0\u00bb of Mali&rsquo;s Songhai, all delivered with virtuoso precision and unrelenting energy. <a title=\"bio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fat-cat.co.uk\/site\/artists\/tal-national\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> &#8230;read more<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Exclusive Media Sponsor: <a title=\"CBC Toronto\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/toronto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBC Toronto<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small World Music Society presents, in association with Batuki Music Societythe 12th Annual Small World Music Festival opening party! from Niger, the Toronto debut of TAL NATIONAL Thursday, 26 September 2013 entry 8:30 PM | &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2013-events","category-concerts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3308,"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135\/revisions\/3308"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/batukimusic.com\/site2\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
