Reviewed 2012-05-25
Warm and sweet acoustic guitar/kora/percussion from a Senegalese griot. He has a rich, sweet natural voice that conveys emotion and always seems real. Beautiful stuff.

*1. Relaxed and sunny downtempo. Sleepily lovely.
2. Downtempo and lazy with a honey-sweet sound.
*3. Fun and bright midtempo sway w/sweet harmonies & percussion.
4. Slow, dreamy kora and then light vocals. Lyrical.
*5. Quirky percussion, strong strings, whispery vocals. Midtempo.
*6. Relaxed but passionate w/ a strong blues streak.
7. Solo guitar and finger snaps lead into a downtempo ode.
8. Relaxed strings. Some wonderful kora and guitar plus vocals.
9. Relaxed sweep of vocals and strings. Beautiful.
*10. Lazy, downtempo strings that picks up.
*11. Warm and luscious that picks up energy and life.
12. Sweet downtempo ode w/a warm, flowing feeling.
13. Rich down/midtempo sway. Lovely.
