| "The Senegalese trio of Ass, Mass & Pap N'Diaye form the core of Djanbutu Thiossane, and the brothers' emphasis on percussion is evident on this debut recording. There are tracks of percussion and vocals only, suggestive of Cuban rumba, and even when the characteristic Wolof accompaniment of kora, balafon, and even the odd violin and restrained electronic keyboard appear, they clearly take their cues from the rolling, pattering, articulate drums. Bekai Jobarteh's kora work is especially interesting and evocative, often lilting lightly around a hypnotic two-chord minor key figure (say, E flat minor and B major), reminiscent of the Indonesian music of Kecapi Suling. Mass' lead vocal is piercingly fine, nasal yet subtle and sinuous, well backed by a mixed chorus." - Jim Foley, 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.
