5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recording!, March 9, 2000

This review is from: Jammu Africa (Audio CD)

This is the re-release of the CD, and I'm so happy to finally have a copy of it after waiting for so long! The music here is truly excellent - Lo's singing is very soulful and from the heart. He captures so many different moods, in all of his songs. The instrumentation is captivating, and there are parts that I dance to that remind me of Paul Simon's "Graceland." All of the songs on this album are great, but there are some I like more than others. Dibi Dibi Rek is just the best. The duet with Marianne Faithful is unforgettable. A must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Lo, April 26, 2000

Ismael Lo's sound is unique. Less sophisticated then Youssou N'Dour, his voice his perhaps more soulfull. This CD contains some of more famous Lo's songs: Sophia, Dibi Dibi Rek, Tajabone (the song of "Tutto su mia madre", the Almodovar's film) and the beautifull Jammu Africa. Lo at his best.

One of my favorite CD'S. This was one of the first Cd, of any genre of music, that I didn't tire of listening to it repeatedly. His voice soothes, and his music reaches. I was wonderful surprise to find Ismael Lo and this Cd 'Jammu Africa'.
