- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Zopoula is the youngest of thirty-six children of a West African family. He's
a moped enthusiast, orphanage volunteer, and Internet cafΘ proprietor. He's
also a psalmist, and this is his first international recording. Hermas sings
in four different languages here: French, English, Dioula, and Sissali (his
mother tongue). Disc one presents a refined and practiced Hermas while the
second disc is just him and a guitar in his backyard. Comparisons to
singer/songwriter Seu Jorge are inevitable, but listeners will find Hermas'
voice sweeter and warmer.
