Product Description

Songlines, July 2008
Don't let the religious nature of this album out you off... it's an inspired and long overdue compilation.

The Times
Even tunes that rely on programmed beats rather than koras hint at ancient harmonies

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Kind of Hip-Hop, 19 Oct 2008

By	Juan Mobili (Valley Cottage, NY USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I know better but the picture of the young man on the cover, at once contemplative and present, does render well what the music might invoke and evoke in you.

It is hip-hop but it's also from West Africa, a world away from the New York project housing and even farther from the bling. It is also Muslim, so the power of prayer pakc as much a punch as the beats pouncing behind the words.

Some of it adheres more readily to more conventional samples, a few are rapped in French, but when the original languages are chosen over European words and drums and bass hit their African root, the results are stunning.

I won't mention favorites. This is one of those albums that deserves being entered without a map, ready to find the voices that speak to you. This is much more than a "curious collection" or one for the curious. This powerful music, this is part of our world.
