"You know you are onto something good with the very first track of this album. It begins with the piercing cry of a flute, then the song breaks into a terrific rhythm with electric guitar, bass, traditional contigui, komsa, and molo lutes joining the equally piercing vocals of Yacouba Moumouni." - David Dalle, RootsWorld

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
