Nawal is, apparently, the first woman from the Comoros Islands to perform publicly with an instrument. Aman has a mesmeric slow burn, combining the African and Islamic influences of the archipelago. Nawal plays the gambusi, a form of lute from Yemen. "Meditation", almost too pretty for its own good, sets quotations from Marianne Williamson (half in French) against complicated percussion before ending in Buddhist chanting. "Dandzi" is traditional blues, the lament of an unloved wife in a polygamous marriage. 06/09/07 >> go there
