Customer Reviews

Excellent selection from the beautiful sounds of Mali
This album is a prime choice of some of the musicans of Mali. Salif Keita, Rokia Traore and many more have captured me and taken me on a journey that I'm enjoying. I am Malian American and just love hearing the sounds of my ancestors homeland.
