Vetse by Njava - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

On their 1999 album Vetse, the Madagascar quintet Njava blends fluid guitar melodies, native percussion and beautiful harmonies in an earthy yet sophisticated mix. The group's five siblings -- two brothers and three sisters -- strike a fine balance between old and new on their debut release.
