Francis Bebey - Africa Sanza
Review by Azamat Doszhan
Africa Sanza is an album by Francis Bebey that is a true celebration of African music. The album is a collection of traditional African songs that are infused with modern beats and instrumentation. The result is a truly unique and captivating sound that is sure to please fans of African music.
The album features a variety of different instruments, including the sanza, a traditional African instrument that is similar to a thumb piano. Bebey's skillful playing of the sanza is a highlight of the album, and his use of other instruments, such as the guitar and percussion, adds depth and complexity to the music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Forest Nativity," a hauntingly beautiful song that features Bebey's gentle vocals and the delicate sound of the sanza. Other notable tracks include "La Condition Masculine" and "Savannah Georgia," which showcase Bebey's talent for blending traditional African music with modern influences.

- Text on cover:
- ‘’In the beginning there was nothing. No light, no darkness either. Nothing except boredom, which Nyambe, the Creator of the Bantu, felt rather severly. ‘’What is to be done’’ he asked Imagination one day. The answer was: ‘’Build yourself a sanza! When you start playing it, you’ll see boredom run away by itself.’’ So Nyambe built a sanza and plucked a note on the keyboard. That first musical sound ever heard came out with the sun which carried the light. Another note created man followed by his wife and numerous children who soon populated the earth. That is how all human beings, black and white, red and yellow were born of the sanza. And again today, any time you produce a sound on a sanza keyboard, a new child is born somewhere in the world’’.
