After years of musical (jazz, r&b, French chanson and rock) as well as geographical wanderings (successively resideding in the Comoros, France, the United States, Gabon and Indonesia) Razia Said returned to her roots in Madagascar. The first notes of 'Zebu Nation' (the zebu is the most common species of cattle in Madagascar) were however recorded in Belgium, where Razia collaborated with the musicians of Njava for a while. With the help of musicians Dozzy Njava (guitar) and Regis Gizavo (accordion) 'Zebu Nation' has become a wonderful album that the one moment ('Yoyoyo') sounds festive and the next ('Ny Alantsika') takes a rather melancholic turn. Great discovery on the Cumbancha Discovery sub-label!
