Found this group off a Putumayo compliation and enjoyed their song so much decided to buy the whole album. The album is excellent, I love almost all of the songs. Great energy and great singing.

ah... it's almost three a.m. in the morning. the wife has awakened me with her version, i guess, of cuddling - to push me halfway off the bed. folks do know about that, i hope. but those who know about these three ladies, les go, appear to know not what to say about them. (i am the first to review this cd.) as i did awaken with one of their songs - sou - in my head and as i do own headphones, it was into the livingroom i went to listen to les go's cd, dan gna, which is a favorite of mine. dan gna is sung beautifully. their music has a contemporary sound sung alongside a rousing, ringing, swinging african traditional and rhythmic pulse. their vocal harmonies; their rhythmic application of vocals over a very hip african sound; les go's smooth delivery and their obvious love of music is what is dignified on this cd. it's a groove. i love it. (to be awakened in the middle of the night and allowed to sneak away to hear these three women sing and hit it so beautifully is one of those hidden pleasures.) what else can i say? allow yourself the pleasure of les go. it's one you won't regret.

I had purchased this disc for a friend of mines who's from the Ivory Coast, West Africa. She enjoyed it very much, and commented that the ladies accents sounded like it was from Mali, well what do I know about West African accents? The group is listed as being from The Ivory Coast. The music is upbeat and fun,these ladies are something of a West African Envogue, in terms of harmony and style. P.S for the price it's a steal.
