Discography of Mauritanian recordings

Compiled by Graeme Counsel
 

            This discography seeks to present all vinyl recordings (78, 45, and 33.3 rpm discs) produced in Mauritania or which which feature Mauritanian musicians. I have also included compilation discs where Mauritanian artists are represented. Links to other discographies of West African recordings are below.

           I would estimate that this discography is only 50% complete. If you own or know of a vinyl recording that is not listed here please send me an email - graeme@*spam*radioafrica.com.au (remove *spam* from the address) with the details and the entry will be included. All contributions will be acknowledged on this web page.

            Square brackets indicate approximate year of release.
