I love this CD. It’s sweet, warm, gentle, feel-good music. It won’t change the world, but it just might change your day. Acoustic folk with an African flair. The melodies are catchy, the lyrics clever, the harmonies sweet, the guitars & percussion blend well and, even cooler, the band is local. Palm wine music, by the way, started in West Africa. Every track is a small gem, and all are laid-back, calm and quietly joyful so you can’t go wrong. I especially liked:

1. A lazy & relaxed love song.
2. Sweet & happy w/a nice bounce.
3. Light, fun, and catchy.
5. Nice use of guitar. Midtempo & bright.
10. Soft & sweet blend of guitars & voices.
