Brilliant! I'd have to agree with the Producer, Nick Gold who wrote about his experience recording these artists: "A song would end and you'd realize you'd been holding your breath, hypnotized".This is exactly the reaction I felt. This music puts you under a spell.There is very little vocalization. There is the guitar, the Kora and on occasion, an additional instrument or two. It is an amazing accomplishment that this CD was made with no second takes. Nothing was edited. These men instinctively held the music in their hearts and just let it flow out to us.A must have!
