Na Afriki
Dobet Gnahore
Released:
Jun 2007
Label:
Cumbancha
Dobet Gnahore sings in no fewer than eight languages on her second release, and that impressive feat pumps the blood of a continent through Na Afriki's heart. Gnahore reaches across borders, speaking to -- and perhaps reviving -- a notion of African unity that's been fractured in recent years. She sings of common experiences, whether it's AIDS, poverty or the importance of family, and does it all with gentle, emotional, sophisticated music. Gnahore's pan-Africanism is musical as well: You'll hear everything from Cameroonian bikutsi to Congolese rumba on the album.
