The purpose of this web site is to exploit to the public the biographies of a widely revered and known sensational music icon who spent 63 years in the Hausa music scene. His era and stylish were unique and distinct. His era almost dominated the whole Hausa folklore and traditional music industry. He was Mamman Shata Katsina. The two books are: 1. Shata Ikon Allah, and 2. Mahadi Mai Dogon Zamani: Shata Da Kundin Wakokinsa. He was particularly superb and above the apex in his own dormain.
