Featuring bluesy sounds from Mali, Wodaabe music from the Sahelian savannah and Manding rhythms, this album features griots, musical giants and rising stars, who reveal the vitality of these timeless and exceptional songs.**** (four stars) 'A perfect introduction to a music which effortlessly and unselfconsciously mixes the traditional with the modern.'
