Magical sounding CD by singer from Cameroon singing in his native Bassa language in homage to his hero, blues legend Skip James; accompanied by guitar, banjo, cello, and trombone; definitely a unique sound with lively accompaniment from a variety of unexpected instruments; if you like Digdig, you'll like this; fusion that's so fused it sparkles from its many facets; great rhythms
