In 2020, Sahel Sounds hosted a project called 'Music From Saharan WhatsApp'. This series consisted of ephemeral digital EPs, documenting live performances by some of the most exciting acts in the Sahel playing music, including Nigeri�n techno, wedding rock, Woodabe guitar, WZN, traditional music, Mandingue music and more. Responding to an open call, musicians recorded a handful of tracks on their cellphone and sent them over by WhatsApp. Now, 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.
