Perhaps not the best place to start,
By "kaeren" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jombaajo (Audio CD)
Like the other reviewer, I look forward to Baaba Maal's new releases, but I found this particular one was relatively disappointing. I believe most if not all of the songs here, are found on other albums, and without so much of the spirit and energy that really makes Baaba Maal's music come alive. This album sort of feels like a Lawrence Welk-icized version of some of his otherwise best songs - the drums sound muted, and keyboards replace some of the more exotic stringed instuments... man, even the horns sound synthesized and dull. Go for "Djam Leelii" if you'd like to listen to a more meditative and gorgeous Baaba Maal record, listen to "Firin in Fouta" for a danceable and funky party disc, or get "Nomad Soul" for a refined and polished fusion/collaboration listen. I think they released "Jombaajo" for us purists who automatically buy anything with his name on it. :)

Jombaajo,

In the Fulani language, Jombaajo means bride(s) or wives. Well it means brides for the most part. I thought this was a fairly good CD.

Baaba Maal is definitely a master at blending pop rythyms and traditional African sounds. Every year I wait for a new Baaba Maal release and again I am not disappointed!
