The sound tends to alternate from one end of the spectrum to the other, showcasing a nice array of sounds for the listener. Any fan of...

The sound tends to alternate from one end of the spectrum to the other, showcasing a nice array of sounds for the listener. Any fan of Keita will be pleased by this effort, though fans of the other members of les Ambassadeurs as well as the Rail Band might note the absence of the other seminal players in the history of Malian music. Pick it up as a fan of Keita, as a fan of Malian music in general, or simply as a curious listener. Don't look to it expecting a rehashing of the old days, though.
