Interesting and Soulful

"This CD is a really interesting work! The sound of this talented duo stays true to its African origin so much that (with few exceptions) it cannot aptly be described as a "fusion". Rather, this is the sound of modern African music...true to its own rhythm and style.



There is even a deference to African languages with only a few songs sung in French, the rest performed in their native tongue--a bold move for a group hoping to appeal to an audience outside Mali. Even so, it works! This CD is a must-have for lovers of African music or for those with an ear for the exotic."

"This CD is without a doubt a great North American debut for Amadou & Mariam. They may not be able to see but you should hear this amazing mix of pop, blues and spectacular musicianship. A must for anyone who wants to include the cutting edge of the blues and it is from Africa. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE. Have played this on my weekly radio show of African Music. As well as their follow up CD Tje Ni Mousso."
