Supermoon
Supermoon is Zap Mama’s most intimate project. She exposes her alluring person, “where the mystique of the African continent meets the complexity of the Western world.” The album features guest musicians; Tony Allen & Michael Franti are two that I recognize. Funky dance beats & infectious smoothies, Zap Mama sings a spectrum in English & French. (Mostly English and lyrics are inside).
