After a month, the EP would disappear, replaced by another one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, some of the label's favorite tracks from this series are collected for the first time outside of Bandcamp as the Music from Saharan WhatsApp compilation LP. This LP features tracks by established Sahel Sounds artists such as Etran de L'Aïr, Hama, Alkibar Jr, Amaria Hamadaler (of Les Filles de Illighadad), and artists new to the label like Bounaly and Andal Sukabe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollow-up to Sahel Sounds’ groundbreaking Music from Saharan Cellphones compilation series \/\/ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes tracks by Etran de L'Aïr, Amaria Hamadaler (of Les Filles de Illighadad,) and Hama \/\/\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Music from Saharan WhatsApp series received press from Yahoo, Wire, Pan African Music, Bandcamp, Portland Mercury, New Frame, and more \/\/ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e01.
