Palo Mayombe 2011 - eBook

By Danilo Arona, 2010 - eBook

The dark recall of Central Africa, of its magic rituals and ancestral music, of deported slaves and "black" practices are the centre of energy and beliefs, mysteries and superstitions on which Danilo Arona constructs a paced plot, at times hidden, sometimes horror, but always "nexialistically" valid.
