Lala Njava - Malagasy Blues Song (2013) torrent

Lala Njava is a uniquely-voiced singer and guitar player hailing from Madagascar whose album Malagasy Blues Song is being released beyond the bounds of her native country. It’s an outstanding album, filled with committed performances and loping, hypnotic grooves. Njava is capably backed up by an array of musicians on bass, rhythm guitar and a range of handheld percussion. Most of all, though, it’s the voice that is the focus here, in service to the songs’ beautiful melodies and muscular arrangements. The excellent musicianship melds with the voice to create a powerful, mesmerizing musical stew.
