From Senegal, a warm and wonderful melding of Cuba and Africa. A mix of Latin influences and rumba, highlife, calypso, and soul. Hip guitars, bright brass work, warm vocals. You can’t go wrong with any track. 1. Midtempo griot-infused highlife. Swaying and delicious. 2. Hip guitar intro, a warm midtempo bounce w/a light funk. 3. Brassy but relaxed Afropop/jazz w/some great guitar work. 4. Lightly upbeat salsa-mbalax blend w/cool guitar/vocals. 5. Lazy, very Cuban sway w/good use of chorus. 6. Upbeat wiggle w/extra good percussion/guitar/vox/trumpet. 7. Sweet retro rumba with a wonderful, warm sway. 8. Soaring vocals, great guitar, percussion. Mid/upbeat. 9. Upbeat dance w/some great vocals & a catchy energy. 10. Sweet sax, relaxed calypso-spiced melody w/warm vocals. 11. Extra hip soul/jazz/reggae blend, midtempo & way too cool. | ||
