Delicious! This singer/songwriter/musician takes his Malian roots, mixes in some dance grooves, adds some great guest stars (programming by French producer Yves Wernert), throws in his bluesy vocals (in French & Bambara) and the result is a fresh and catchy mix that part roots music, part dance club. I liked it all.

1. Midtempo & low key w/great flute work..
*2. A funky thing w/a relaxed energy.
3. Upbeat dance groove w/a cool Afro-European flair.
4. Great guitar work. Mid/uptempo w/cool vocals.
*5. Relaxed & soulful. Part blues, part jazz, all cool.
6. A lazy, sexy groove. Mmmmm….
*7. Driving, dance track with a catchy hook.
*8. It’s a bouncy, funky, fun groove.
9. Midtempo w/hypnotic blend of vocals & flute.
*10. Low key with a dark energy and great vocals.
*11. Upbeat & shifting dance groove.
12. Another great track. Midtempo funk w/serious lute work.
13. Slithering dance beats & catchy vocals.
14. Starts quiet. Dark, downtempo. Ends at 5:04
