If You – 2:25 – whistle type instrument plus percussion, more staccato; lively 8. Khone -2:40 – “Enemy – written by Toure's father; a capella excerpt from opera about black power – nice harmony; call and response **9-Kille – 3:13 – “The Way” --starts with drumming; lots of pretty instrumentation; singing 10.Debho – 3:36 - “Women” – a tribute, upbeat 11.Mina – 3:40 – simple voice plus guitar 12.Soninka – 3:00 – tribute to Soninke people 13.
