Description
Like the flora and fauna of her Madagascar homeland, Lala Njava's music is distinctive and unique. Listen out for her silvery wandering voice, lush rolling guitars and rippling percussion on this, her striking debut album - her Malagasy Blues Song.'Malagasy Blues Song' is Lala's debut solo release, but as a young musician she gained a wealth of experience from performing live with her family band, Njava. Upon moving to Europe during the 1990s, the band became professionally established and recorded two albums for EMI, embarking on a world tour and laying down some vocals for renowned 'ethnic-electronica' group Deep Forest. "Sweet Lullaby" heard on 'Malagasy Blues Song' is a re-recording of a track that Lala performed live with Deep Forest many times during this era of her career. Lala's version is very different from the 1990s recorded pop original, and is deliciously reworked with her languorous bluesy swing. Stripped back to an acoustic setting, the lilting melody sparkles in its simplicity.
