Alma, the debut CD of Belgian two accordion, percussion and oud or flamenco guitar instrumental group Dazibao, shines sunnily as it journeys between North African, Musette and flamenco sounds.

Young accordionist Sophie Cavez, a mainstay of the Belgian and French folk music scenes, wrote most of the pieces on the album. No accordion jokes, please.
