ALBUM REVIEW
“Mozambique’s greatest popular band, Ghorwane, has produced only three albums
since it formed in 1983[…] Though a long time in coming, this album demolishes
any notion of Ghorwane’s demise with impeccable musicianship, production, and
songwriting artistry. These pieces are as powerful as any the band has
created.” Read whole review by Banning Eyre at www.afropop.com
