Title : Miss Lolo
An original brew of various folklores from southern Côte

VAUDOU GAME (Togo)
Title : Pas contente from the album Apiafo

leave nobody indifferent!

ANA ALCAIDE (Spain)
Title : Khun Caravan from the album La Cantiga del
Fuego
With her nickelharpa, a Swedish medieval instrument with
bowed strings, she first arouses curiosity. But with gentle
melodies from multiple origins escaping her instrument,
combined with her natural voice, she soon seduce her
audiences, while sometimes taking side roads close to
rock.
