A Brief Biography of Amada Singer, Late Barmani Coge
Sa'adatu Aliyu was born in Kaduna in 1943. Before returning to Katsina, Barmani Choge started her music career at the age of 27.
Choge, who is famous for the genre of Hausa female singers called Amada, is one of the most popular female Hausa singers in Northern Nigeria.
Amada is a type of music for women, especially the elderly. They use Kore (calabashes) that reach five or more, which float on the water. And the old women are the ones who play with their hands while shaking them.
Without fear of culture or religion, Choge's songs talk about important social issues such as women's education and the importance of women's small businesses, to controversial issues such as married women as idle, aggressive women, etc.
The main message of her songs is that women should rise and shine in a world dominated by men. Barmani Choge's song not only encourages women to dance but also makes them think about their place in society.
Choge died in 2013 after suffering from diabetes. She died at the age of 70. She left six children and 60 grandchildren.
May God have mercy on her!
