Bright, lyrical koras; warm, sweet guitars, great vocals. All around, a delicious release. Varies from Malian blues to fairly traditional Griot tracks. Lovely stuff all-round.

3. Sweet kora, soaring male vox, fem chorus. Midtempo.
*4. Glorious kora duet. Relaxed, expertly played. Instrumetal.
*5. Great male vox backed by strings/perc. Downtempo, powerful.
