A summit meeting between three exceptional musicians: R駩s Gizavo, a Malagasy accordionist, Louis Mhlanga, a South African guitarist and David Mirandon, a French drummer. Their music is at the same time primitive and erudite, rugged and sophisticated. Tinted with jazz, blues and soul, it draws from the many musical sources to be found in Southern Africa and in the Indian Ocean region.
Released in April 2006 on Marabi.
