Massa Dembele - Mezana Dounia - LP

Debut Album — Neo-Traditional Mandinka Music

The debut album from Burkinabe songwriter Massa Dembele pairs the ethereal sound of the kamele n'goni harp with melodic vocals and indigenous percussion. His powerful lyrics, fully translated for this release, express inner turmoil and disillusion with the modern world. Mezana Dounia is a record of neo-traditional Mandinka music (mandingue traditionnelle) that is deeply rooted in the region's history yet consciously personal, mobile and modern.
