In the streets of Burkina Faso, the phrase 'ka nana ye' can be heard everywhere. It means 'it's not easy' but also implies that things will be okay. With the album Kananaye, which takes its name from this popular saying, things can only get better. Its foundational multiculturalism, conscious lyrics, intertwined traditions, and contemporary grounding are essential qualities in these times when optimism has become a survival virtue. It's not easy, but it will get better - provided we make the effort, crossing borders where others seek to close them. Clotilde Rullaud, Abdoulaye Traore, Achille Nacoulma, Seydou Diabate and Boubacar Djiga, the creators of Kananaye, are dedicated to this cause.\u003cp\u003eSeydou 'Kanazoe' Diabate: balafon, percussion, vocals, composition\u003cbr\u003eAbdoulaye 'Debademba' Traore: guitars, composition\u003cbr\u003eClotilde Rullaud: vocals, flute, composition\u003cbr\u003eBoubacar Djiga: kunde, percussion, composition\u003cbr\u003eAchille Nacoulma: drums, percussion, vocals, composition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll arrangements by the members of Kananaye\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in Brussels and Bobo-Dioulasso during December 2023 and January 2024\u003cbr\u003eMixed and mastered in NYC - February and March 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCimetre\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeri Djougou\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSea Lion Woman\/Were Were Mousso\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBellevile\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaribou\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaso De Nous\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanga Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Chauffer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419490374017,"sku":"2477050","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/3770035700004.jpg?v=1750562253","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2477050","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
