5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Salif Ever Recorded - the most African, October 29, 2009

This review is from: Ko-Yan (Audio CD)

This Album is not very well known amongst Salif Keita followers in the US because it was released too far ahead of his rise to fame on the US world music scene. However, it has the best of the best African musicians (including the "king" of 6/8 rhythms - Brice Wassy on drums). The majority of the songs are in 6/8 time with brilliantly lyrical and subtle syncopation and rhythmic counterpoint. It is too bad that it is out of print. Oh well, get it while you can.
