Savi - Mama Wopé - Manungo Na - Express your life - Ayay Bimbam - Canto Danto - Move on up - Mister - Throw it away - Nature Boy - Nature Girl - Click Song - Malaika - Gracias a la vida German jazz singer Sonja Kandels, who grew up in Cameroon and Niger, experiments with a wide variety of African styles, a dynamic fusion of jazz and world music. She uses her charismatic, multifaceted voice as an instrument that covers the entire colorful ethnic spectrum, with such emotion and expression that she captivates all audiences. In her album "Express your life," Sonja Kandels evokes the most important musical milestones of her life. Her own compositions are just as enchanting as her arrangements of traditional African music or her great adaptations of jazz standards. Some songs tell of the lives of the pygmies she visited in the rainforest of Cameroon. Enthralled by their vocal music, she incorporated their polyrhythmic and polyphonic chants into her songs.
