I liked this quite a bit; something about Baaba Maal's voice and vocal style remind me a bit of Nusrat Feta Ali Khan, even though musically this is quite distinct. 3/5

Really enjoyed this one. There's an 8-song version and a 12-song version. I'd go with the 8-song version. The extra 4 songs sorta drag and lower the energy. I keep hearing these sorts of albums (Senegalese, "desert blues") and being surprised that these sounds haven't made their way into the mainstream yet. Would be really cool. 4/5 (for 8 song version)
