Aman

Description

Nawal, the voice of Comoros: reissue of her album Aman released in 2007 in self-production. By far her best album. Nawal, Franco-Comorian artist, is now a prominent figure of her native archipelago. She has found her "way," a star of Comoros at its zenith! Her vocal and instrumental strings, her very gestures, have enchanted audiences around the world. Nawal is a woman of the earth and the sky, signs texts and music, sings and plays the gambusi (traditional Comorian string instrument), guitar, daf (Persian membranophone), flutes, and thumb piano, the Zimbabwean mbira. Her music is resolutely acoustic, and rich in a mixed spirituality. Her voice and her universe resonate with audiences of all cultures from here and elsewhere. Nawal continues in Aman the mystical quest that radiated Kweli by delivering compositions that sound like an invitation to a transcendental spirituality. Aman is a spicy, rebellious, and committed album, also unfolding as a meditation on our condition, a meditation that translates into a manifesto for a new humanism... The album includes exclusively the remix of Salama by DJ Click!
