Niger's Singing Judge
Wherever you go in Niger, you'll hear the 'Sahel groove' of Tal National - one of the country's most famous bands. The band leader, Issoufou Hamadal Moumine Almeida, is also known as the "singing judge". When he's not busy with the band he can be found passing judgement in the local court.
