I picked Bombino's Azel as one of 2016's best albums on this blog, but for a musician from Niger today, I'm digging a little deeper. I listen to a bunch of Tuareg musicians, and I'll go with Group Inerane today. "Kuni Majagani," from Guitars from Agadez. Bombino himself was the one who recorded "Volume 2" in the "Guitars from Agadez" series, and there are a few more from Group Inerane. Good stuff.
