''From the CD sleeve of Zebu Nation:''<br>
Two years ago, I returned to Madagascar and was privilidged to meet some amazing local musicians. They inspired me to make an album in Malagasy, my native tongue. It was my chance to reconnect in a deeper way with the music of my country. During the same trip, I realised Madagascar is in trouble. Our forest and fauna are dying. Our nature is crying out for immediate help. The new album now became not just about re-discovering a musical heritage, but also about drawing attention to the plight of our country's natural resources. Zebu Nation was born to spread a message of hope with the medium of music. Zebu Nation is aimed at bringing people and musicians together for a real need. It's dedicated to our children's future. A deep thanks to all the people who walked with me on this long path and helped to make Zebu Nation a reality.

The lyrics of songs such as ''Mifohaz'', meaning ''Wake up'' in Malagasy, sends a clear message to the world about the ongoing environmental destruction that is happening in Madagascar today. Additionally, 10% of the net profits from the sale of Zebu Nation are used to plant trees in Madagascar.
Akory - which means ''What now?'' in the Malagasy language - is the new album from Razia Said on which she explores the environmental and political challenges facing her native land. The album was launched independently with her own label WAKE UP MUSIC. Read more about the album on the [http://www.raziasaid.com/pr_en.pdf Akory press release].
