It just deals with plain radio broadcast...
It's a September 4th, 1964 stamp. Edifil, Spanish Sahara#231. A set of 8 stamps (3 types) devoted to "Local Musicians".
It seems that the camel rider is listening to the "local music" broadcasted through "Radio Sahara". Who knows?

One hump, or two?

rod222 - That Post Office Strike label is hilarious, using a profile of a Bactrian camel while calling the Emergency Postal Service the "Dromoderry!"

Here is an image of a stamp depicting a proper Bactrian camel, printed by lithogravure, and issued by Mongolia on November 1, 1971, Scott No. 644.
