République du Niger - Muna Tafiya

Niger officially the Republic of Niger, is a landlocked country in West Africa. The river Niger, which gives it its name, flows through the relatively densely populated southwest of the desert and savannah state.

Niger borders Algeria and Libya to the north, Mali and Burkina Faso to the west, Chad to the east and Nigeria and Benin to the south. It is a landlocked country with shares in the Sahara, the Sahel and Sudan. The largest city in Niger is the capital Niamey. Other major cities are Zinder, Maradi and Agadez.

The former French colony has been independent since 1960 and is home to a variety of different ethnic groups. Since independence, seven different constitutions have been passed and four military dictatorships have been installed, and a military dictatorship has been in place again since the military coup in 2023.

The existence of most of the Nigerien population is threatened by regularly recurring droughts and famines due to a rapidly growing population due to a lack of birth control. Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. The United Nations Development Program lists Niger as one of the countries with low levels of human development.

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
