A long-time bestseller of the MEG-AIMP collection and long out of print, this album of sanza music recorded among the Gbaya people of the Central African Republic by ethnomusicologist Vincent Dehoux was originally released on CD in 1993. 

It is now being reissued on vinyl and CD to coincide with the exhibition Afrosonica – Soundscapes. It features a selection of ‘songs for thought’: an intimate repertoire conducive to introspection, accompanied by the repetitive, meditative sound of lamellaphones.
