Mezana Dounia { vinyl }

Here is the debut album by Burkinabe songwriter Massa Dembele. �His music features the ethereal sound of the�kamele n'goni harp combined with melodic vocals and indigenous percussion. �Massa's powerful lyrics, which were fully translated for this release, express inner turmoil and disillusion with the state of the modern world. With�Mezana Dounia, Massa Dembele has crafted an album of neo-traditional Mandinka music (mandingue traditionnelle) that is at once deeply rooted in the region's musical history yet is consciously personal, mobile and modern.
