I heard this CD when visiting Bogota. I walked into a gallery of the local artists and the music captured my soul. I was so moved by the melodies, I had to find out the title of the CD. The music is transcendent. My favorites are Kothbiro, Ondiek and Sutu Kun, and the invigorating, rythmic Ekbobo. But the best has to be the Wasuze Otya track with the laughter of the singers at the end of the track; you can sense their joy in their songs. The music is so uplifting and premeates with a positive feeling -- you can tell that the singers feel joy in living, and in life through the range of wonderful music; you want to go to their land, and be in their space. Wonderful!!! A must have!!!

Only a listen to this incredible and sublime collection with convince noise-weary ears and world-heavy souls of the healing power of the human voice.

I would love to hear a collection of this type which featured the voices of African women like Angelique Kidjo and Miriam Makeba.

Get it. You'll revisit it over and over.

This is one of the best CDs around. It is well worth it.

Very relaxing, very appealing voices. A great blend of lyrics, vocals and instruments come together to deliver a superb music CD with each song leaving you completely invigorated and revitalized

Slips under your skin and into your soul leaving you free from the cares of the world. get it and float away !

I find this to be a very nice CD to listen to, when I'm in the right mood. It's a very soothing addition to my otherwise hectic and crazy life.

This is a high quality recording, both from the technical standpoint as well as the selection of songs. It has become one of my favorites.

THIS IS SIMPLY A TERRIFIC RECORDING. THERE IS NOT A LAME TRACK ON IT. THE HARMONIOUS VOICES AND GENTLE INSTRUMENTS COMBINE TO JUST TRANSPORT YOU TO A BETTER PLACE. A PERFECT DE-STRESSER AFTER A HARD DAY AT WORK, OR WHEN CAUGHT IN SLOW TRAFFIC, OR TO PLAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM A NOT-SO-GREAT-FAMILY VISIT! THE RYTHMS ARE SEDUCTIVE AND THE VOICES ARE BEAUTIFUL. AFTER BUYING THIS RECORDING, I ONLY WANTED MORE. I CONSIDER THIS ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE TOP 10 ALBUMS.

This music is so sublime, enchanting, uplifting that I believe that anyone of any or no musical taste will delight in it. One of my favorite CD's of all time.
