Description
Alhaji (Dr) Mamman Shata[1] (born in 1923 in Musawa, Katsina State, Nigeria, died on 18 June 1999) was a Nigerian singer.He was a well-known Hausa griot/musician among the Hausa people of West and North-east Africa. His vocals were often accompanied by talking drums, known as kalangu. He performed for the Hausa people of Northern Nigeria for more than half a century.
He went to an Islamic school as a boy, according to Hausa Muslim tradition.
Musawa village was under the Katsina Native Authority (N.A.) when Shata was born. When the Local Governments were created it came under Kankia Local Government. Today, Musawa is a Local Government of its own. Shata's father, Ibrahim Yaro, did not want him to become a musician due to widely held belief of those days that music or praise-singing was a form of 'roko' or begging. His father being of the Fulani ethnic stock, the young Shata was expected to become a farmer — a more dignified occupation. Shata's insistence on becoming a musician was therefore seen as a rebellion against the norm.
Shata acquired his sobriquet of 'Shata' from a man called Tsalahu (Salahu). Shata sell his nuts for Tsalahu and after the sale he shares the profit to people he met on his way home or in the market and comes back to Tsalahu empty handed, as such he was given the name 'Shata' meaning to spread. He combined this trade with the sale of sweets ('mishin'). He usually sing for fun in the market place or the local play ground called 'gaandchili'. Later he abandoned both trades and embraced music or praise-singing full-time. This vocation took him to many villages in the Musawa area. However Mamman Shata settled at Daura with his notable benefactor Emir of Daura; Alhaji Muhammadu Bashar, Finally he settled in Bakori, where he married his first wife, Binta. They had a daughter, Amina, who died in infancy. From his base in Bakori, Shata traveled with his band to places as far away as Katsina and Kano, which he first visited in 1952. A few years later he moved to Funtua, a more cosmopolitan town not far from Bakori. Shata made Funtua his home for about forty years - up until his death.
Mamman Shata was one of the best selling Polygram artistes from the north in the 80s. He was a highly respected folklorist. He spent about 50–60 years in the music industry.
Alhaji Shata could not recall or remember how many songs he produced. He was able to record some.
He visited many African and Western countries, including the United Kingdom France and United States of America.
Shata was famed to have sung for every topic under the Hausa land's sun: agriculture, culture, religion, economy, politics, military, etc. Shata was awarded honorary doctorate degree by Ahmadu Bello University in recognition of his contributions to Hausa literature.
His relationship with other musicians was cordial. Some of his notable benefactors were Emir of Daura; Alhaji Muhammadu Bashar, Mammada Dan Sambo, Emir of Kano; Alhaji Ado Bayero, Sultan of Sokoto; Muhammadu Maccido, Jarma of Kano; Alhaji Muhammadu Adamu Dankabo; and Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Usman Idris.
Alhaji Shata died on Friday 18 June 1999. He was survived by three wives (Furera, Hadiza, and Binta), 19 children, and 28 grandchildren. He was buried at Daura. However; he married many other women and divorced them, some with children between them. Amina (the third of his wives when he died) never gave birth even though she lived with him for more than 10 years.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
