Lots to take in on "Hip Deep in Northern Nigeria." Here are some visuals from Kano, a serene, complicated city, Nigeria's second largest. Starting off with actor Mustafa "Musty" who, joined by filmmaker Salisu Almustapha, introduced Banning Eyre and Sean Barlow to a brilliant array of singers, producers, actors, agents and Kannywood executives, not to mention the Kano State Censorship Board. Well, stories elsewhere. Here, feast your eyes...
