Recorded in situ in the highlands of Lesotho—one of the world’s most elevated and perilous nations—the group Famo Mountain crafts raw, topical music driven by visceral vocals, accordion and percussion. This sound not only echoes the rugged beauty and harsh realities of its environment but also rises above them, creating something timeless and transcendent.

“For Those Left Behind” is an unforgettable audio snapshot capturing the soul of a remote music and culture. Recorded and produced by Grammy-winner Ian Brennan—renowned for his work with Zomba Prison Project, Ustad Saami, and Tinariwen—the album is his 11th release for Glitterbeat’s acclaimed Hidden Musics series. With unfiltered intimacy and cultural depth, Brennan once again brings marginalized voices to the global stage.
