Na Dre

This pan-African sonic performance by Dobet Gnahoré, her fourth album, will have you swaying and moving with happy rhythm, while sweeping you along with congas, mbira (thumb piano), and guitar. She uses seven different African tongues, sweetened with Western melody. "I’ve also lived in Europe for 15 years, so of course I’ve heard plenty of other music," she says. "There’s joy in connecting them, putting traditional rhythms alongside contemporary Western sounds. But the heart of my music will always be in Africa."
