The group LANAYA (confidence) come from Burkina Faso, West Africa and uses the rich cultural and musical heritage from the people of the Manding. LANAYA have a profound cultural and musical background and have managed to create a very own sound which is going far beyond the songs usually heard on African drum concerts. Performed are the world-famous, powerful and furious rhythms, songs and dances of the Manding but also of other African cultures. The entire repertoire was arranged by own means and modern elements of style. Bass guitar, flute and saxophone manage again and again to interpret partly ancient, soft or powerful, sad or happy folksongs with sometimes harmonic grooving melodies sometimes with rhythmic African improvisations. LANAYA regularly invites guest musicians and dancers from Burkina Faso like the strong singer MAMA SANOU. LANAYA are able to convince and delight the audience with their original way and complicity.
