Nearly as good as seeing them live June 6, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I was fortunate enough to see Bassekou and his Ngoni Ba live and I spent the entire concert with a big grin on my face (I couldn't help it). The exuberance, style and sheer fun of them playing together also comes across on the album. If,like me, you don't know much about African music but want a great place to start you may just have found it. The problem will be finding something as good to follow it

Trudging around Charlton Park WOMUD last week, I found one of Bassekou's wellington boots in the mud outside the Siam Tent. It's size 13 in red, gold and green with a small compass inset into the heel. If he wants it back, I would be grateful if he could perform at the Trades Club, Hebden Bridge before returning home to Mali. However, he better be quick because John Martyn has his eye on it.
high quality unique African sound June 11, 2007

This album provides over an hour of high-quality African music which would be a good way in for someone wanting to hear some traditionally-flavoured African music, or for those like me building a collection of the increasingly excellent stuff coming out of Africa these days.
The album centres on the ngoni, a four-stringed banjo/guitar type instrument, which originated in one particular part of Africa.
The tracks are a mixture of slower and more upbeat tempos, and the musicians use a variety of vocalists on the album, including some excellent female vocalists, but whether the tracks are instrumental or full songs, each one is an experience.
