Thanks to historyVille I wouldn’t have heard about her. Born Sa'adatu Aliyu in Kaduna in 1943, Barmani Choge ventured into music at 27. Choge, who popularised the mature Hausa women genre of music called Amada, was one of the best female Hausa singers from Northern Nigeria. The Amada is centered around five upturned calabashes floating on water and played with the hands by elderly women. Without fear of tradition or religion, Choge's songs talked about serious social issues like women’s education and the importance of small-scale trading by women, to vulgar topics like co-wives as idle snobs, voluptuous women’s backsides, et cetera. The core message of her songs is that women should get up and shine in a male-dominated world. Choge’s music didn’t only make women dance, it also made them think about their statuses in society. Barmani Choge died in 2013 after a long battle with diabetes and paralysis. She was 70. She was survived by six children and 60 grandchildren. #HistoryVille
I used to hear this song when I was child, its now I understand that the song was done some years before I was borne. May her soul rest in Jannatul firdaus
Omg! Listening to this song brought the memories of childhood flooding back. We'd huddle up together with my siblings on Saturday morning and watched this program on NTA Kaduna. Oh how time flies! Where's the fat guy that danced in the program now?
