This was terrible. I don’t know how it made the list. Only got as far as I did because I listened while mowing the lawns. The only reason I’d put it on again would be to try and scare cats away.

This did not work for me. I didn't make it all the way through a single song. I want to enjoy music, not be irritated by it.

Not for me

I'd rather die than have to listen to this all over again once more.

Not for me

Son cursis y pedantes esos que al oír música étnica, dizque se sienten en el nirvana y son casi monjes. ¡Hipócritas!, yo vivo en una región multipluricultural ridícula y su música solo es y debe ser disfrutada por cada cultura

ziemlich Arsch der erste war am kosten insgesamt Ned meins

Not for me.

This is my real experience with African music. Some of the instrumentation sounds inspired by 1980s synth pop rock/ soft rock. The vocals to me are the biggest difference. The cadence seems a bit sporadic at times and the melody contains semi tones and vibratos that don't entirely fit the accompanying music. Overall, the music is strange enough to dissuade me from listening again and not unique enough to warrant praise.

Nah

Odd but ok

Not for me, but it's interesting. The guitar in Minuit is cool.

Nope.

Awful! I don’t think it was necessary for me to ever listen to this album.

Senegalin Phil Collins

no es mi para mi

dont wanna sound racist but this kinda sucks

Urrrgh I think I wanted to like this more than I did, but I just found it dragged and did not draw me in at all

I just can't get a grip of this stuff.

Interesting. Not something I'd listen to often

This is #day94 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... please excuse me, but I just can't agree that this should be on the list of albums you must hear before you die. This isn't simply boring, this is also fucking irritating. I was like 80% through, and I had to stop. It's a 1 out of 5, of course. Looking forward to #day95.

Not for me

This was not for me at all. Some moments of nice music though

not today, sorry

some cool African drumming and melodies, nothing grabbed me as outstanding

I'm not averse to world music, in fact this would have scored a lot higher and would probably have been in the may buy it category. If only it was an instrumental album. I understand and fully realise it was in a foreign language, but his voice was SO caustic that most of the time it rendered anything that may have been intended as actual words into indecipherable wailing. And meant that what would have been a solid 3 pushing up to a possible 4 for the music is relegated to 1, but only because 0 isn't available.

Nah just not my bag

i couldn’t listen to this album, i just really disliked it. would not listen to it again.

I'm glad they put some foreign-language stuff on the list as some of it has been good or at least interesting. This one still qualifies as "interesting," but I can't call it good. Not my jam.

no basta pq me revolendas musica tribal africana

It’s a 1. there’s no other way to spell it out besides give this a 1 and never talk about it again. at least Ben had a good review

Remind me of holiday but not my thing

Ethnic music.

not my vibe. at all.

I didn’t really hear anything special in this.

Not my style

Seriously...

Respect the diversity but no I didn’t like this album.

Probably the first world album this site has suggested that didn't stick with me. The voice is a little grating to me after awhile. Instrumentation/production is generally good and his voice isn't bad I just think it's not for me. Just doesn't connect .

trash

Repetitive.

Too much wailing for me to be able to enjoy it. I like this album cover though.

Jeg er slet ikke world nok til det her - blev nødt til at slukke ved track 4 og den funk-agtige tilgang. Jeg troede vi havde rock og punk-kategorier. Totalt miss her

Didn’t listen to but a few sec. Not my style of music.

Not my vibe

ew.

Not for me

1. yela - 1.5 2. toro - 1 3. lenol - 1 4. hamady - 0 5. danibe - 0 6. gidelam - 0 7. ollel - 0 8. zauuande - 1 9. ndelorel - 0 10. lem gi - 0 11. minuit - 1

I made sure to listen to at least a minute of each song and I'm sorry but not only could this be less relatable to me but it just wasnt even allat. It's not anything pleasurable to listen to, and for a project collection of exclusivity western music it's already lied including this

Not for me

Couldn’t get down with it

This guy's voice is piercing. It's a "no" from me.

I would need a meme of an old man with an odd dentured smile, sitting at a table with a coffee mug and laptop, to accurately describe my thoughts on this album's inclusion.

This gave me a headache. Bl. Bm. Bs. Bad length. Bad music. Bad sound.

It's like wearing the championship shirt of the team that lost last year.

African rhythms, couldn't get into it at all

Couldn't listen cos couldn't get alexa to understand album title or artist name

no

Not for me.

I'm very glad that we got a different Baaba Maal album first: This one leaves an entirely unfair impression. Cynical and tedious, there's at least some variety, but the gap in quality erases any lingering goodwill for this LP.

Not my thing

Why is this on the list? It's not even an interesting listening....

Listened Before? N Sorry, not English and not a style I care for. I'll pass. I'm sure it's great if you speak whatever language its in. Not for me. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Gidelam

Background music for a log flume, wasn't feeling it at all

Not my bag baby 2 out of 10

Dated as soon as it hit shelves.

No.

not for me

Boring to me but idk

I can’t act like I know what I’m listening for here to enjoy it. I’m sure its influential

This one was tough for me. Glad to be exposed to African music, as I don't really know any. But this wasn't my favorite. Voice was shrill and so wiggly. Music all over the place and songs too long.

The album was interesting. It was a mix of what seemed to be tribal music and reggae. It was not really memorable. I did not skip any songs. It is better than a one, but not really a two. I will round down.

It was annoying and it wouldn't end. Simply awful. It made my eye twitch. Sounds like the kind of crap that people would pretend to like to try and impress other simpletons. Never again.

I honestly don't know if i just listened to the same song on repeat for an hour. There was so little difference between the songs. Skip this album.

Call me an ugly American, but I have a strong, strong preference to music that's in English. So something that isn't in English has to REALLY grab my attention if I'm going to enjoy it at all. Well, this grabbed my attention, but in all the wrong ways. The vocals are super annoying, and the entire album is repetitive. Maybe it's amazing and I just don't have the musical vocabulary to enjoy it. But to say I did not enjoy it would be an understatement.

no

Nicht mein Ding. Der geleierte Gesang gefällt mir nicht. Und viel mehr ist da auch nicht. Ein Trostpunkt.

Vittu mitä paskaa

No

Strange. Blend is smooth. Earth music is catchy and fun but not really my things. The tracks tend to run together a little. It was fine, but sounded more like Nandos background music than a powerful album. The Good - Olel.

Have zero idea what the appeal to this album was. Didn’t really know how to enjoy it. For me it’s just a big miss. 1.0/10

not my cup of tea.

I didn’t care for this album.
