Bezara Ernest - Cousine Georgette Amia Vera Araiky

Review by Paul Hermanson

Bezara Ernest's latest album, Cousine Georgette Amia Vera Araiky, is a masterpiece of contemporary African music. The album is a fusion of traditional African rhythms and modern production techniques, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

From the opening track, "Georgette," the listener is drawn into a world of intricate melodies and infectious grooves. The album seamlessly blends different styles and influences, from the jazzy horns on "Araiky" to the funky basslines on "Vera."

Ernest's vocals are a highlight of the album, ranging from soulful crooning to rapid-fire rap verses. The lyrics are in French and Malagasy, adding to the album's multicultural flavor.

One of the standout tracks is "Sahaza," a haunting ballad that showcases Ernest's emotional range. The song builds to a powerful climax, with soaring strings and a choir adding to the drama.
