I have been searching for months for anything on Youtube that has Jeremiah Gyang. I finally found one. This is "Kauna Allah" by Sagt. featuring Jeremiah Gyang, the one with the amazing voice who starts singing around timecode 1:04 and continues as the chorus throughout the piece. Jeremiah Gyang is a Christian from Jos who sings in Hausa, and the few songs I've found by him on mix cds are the most addictive and have the most mind-blowingly beautiful harmonies of any other musicians I know of anywhere. Period. Anything else I find on Youtube will go on this blog immediately! (Sorry for the scratchy beginning on this.)
does he have any more albums out other than na ba ka? i've been searching for others but I think that's it. Great voice on him
ReplyDeleteMutanda, thanks for the comment. I think I read somewhere that he has another album or two..., but the only one I could find for sale in the U.S. was Na Ba Ka, which you can get from a vender called CD Baby. I just ordered it, so I'll make a note of whether I get it or not... {-;
