FANGA, which means strength, energy, unity, and power in Dioula, is the second album by the group KUNBE. It embodies over ten years of musical collaboration between French and Malian artists, in an inspired fusion of traditional and modern Malian rhythms with the raw energy of Western rock and pop.
FANGA, qui signifie force, énergie, union et puissance en bambara (dioula), est le deuxième album du groupe KUNBE. Il incarne plus de dix ans de complicité musicale entre artistes français et maliens, dans une fusion inspirée entre les rythmes traditionnels et modernes du Mali et l’énergie brute du rock et de la pop occidentale.
