Music from Comoros
Music of the world
By mwezi waq
In the Comoros –originally called ‘Moon Islands’– music has served to retain a living memory. The artistic collective gathered under the name Mwezi WaQ (9 musicians on vocals, guitars, percussion) has honoured this in its fashion, either covering long established songs or composing original pieces based on today’s real-life experience, to remain in tune with the deep realities of this land of a thousand faces. This album is totally related to and follows on from the heritage of past centuries.
