I throughly enjoyed this album. I have a fair amount of African music, but this one had passed me by.
It was more rock-oriented than I expected, but non the worse for that. The blend of rock and African instruments works well and Rokia Traore is not only an accomplished singer and songwriter, but also a talented guitarist.
The song mix is good, with some real dynamic driving pieces and some slower numbers.
While I do like to know what a song is about, I don't have a problem with not understanding the lyrics as I can often focus on the music more. However, you can find the English translations to these songs here if it is important.
I gave it 8 as I found some of the vocal recording a bit bright on some tracks (could well be my ears), but overall the recording quality is quite good. Musically it's very good.
Thanks for choosing this album.
