Mauritania Radio Stations

Mauritanian radio bridges the Arab Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa. Radio Mauritanie broadcasts in Hassaniya Arabic, French, Pulaar, Soninke and Wolof — a linguistic spread mirroring the country's Moor and Black African communities. Quranic programming carries great weight in the Islamic Republic, while music slots showcase the extraordinary Moorish griot tradition: iggawen musicians playing the ardin harp and tidinit lute in modal styles unlike anything else on African radio.
