EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant music scene of the 1970s. The image showcases "The Hausa Instrumentalists" a talented group of musicians, rehearsing at the prestigious Commonwealth Institute in Kensington, London. One member of the ensemble takes center stage as he skillfully plays the Shantu, a unique horn instrument crafted from gourds joined together with treated cow skin. The rich tones produced by this traditional Hausa instrument fill the room, creating an enchanting atmosphere that captivates all who listen. Surrounded by their fellow bandmates and various other instruments such as drums and hors (traditional stringed instruments), these instrumentalists demonstrate their deep passion for music and dedication to their craft. Their synchronized movements and focused expressions reveal years of practice and collaboration. This photograph not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to the power of music in transcending cultural boundaries. It reminds us that regardless of our background or location, music has an incredible ability to bring people together and evoke emotions that words alone cannot express. Thanks to NCJ / Topix's impeccable photography skills, we can now relive this mesmerizing rehearsal session decades later. This print is truly a treasure for any lover of 1970s nostalgia or world music enthusiasts seeking glimpses into different musical traditions around the globe.
