5.0 out of 5 stars Enticing and lyrical, 26 Sep 2000

By A Customer

I heard the title track of this album in the middle of the night on the world service. I was half asleep and thought that I was dreaming of the music in heaven. When I realised it was terrestrial music I woke up enough to register the name of the album and that the singer was from Mali. The next day I bought the album. All tracks are of incredibly high quality but Wanita is the one I replay the most. The album soothes, uplifts and inspires this one lowly fan. Rokia Traore is a musician with talent and integrity. Listen to her.

5.0 out of 5 stars chance find - my music collection is better for it, 11 Dec 2000

By A Customer

i bought this as it played in a record shop - rokia's voice is divine and just soars through the air, making you realise how poor so many of our so called talents in the charts actually are. buy this if you like world music by all means, but buy it if you don't too.

5.0 out of 5 stars This woman produces a unique and addictive rythm and sound., 24 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This artist is highly recommended. If you are a collector of world music and Rokia is not in your collection, you are missing something!
