A lot of musicians consider dressing smart part of their job. Duke Ellington and Rye Rye are two vastly different stylists with decades between them who nonetheless immediately come to mind. The musicians of Mauritania seem the nec plus ultra of sophistication and glamor, though. And they play and sing to match it. In the past we've posted videos from this classy land: the '70s groove of Hadramie Ould El Meydah and a dance party in the Saharan desert.
This time as usual, we know nothing about Emeymya Kemban. But there are a lot of helpful people out there. Do you know anything about this group? If yes, please e-mail! Avez-vous des infos sur ce groupe? Si oui, n'hésitez pas à nous écrire un email! Merci.
The embed code won't come up so you can watch the video here. Then you can watch more Mauritanian musicians perform, too.
