Editorial Reviews

The Entrance of the Duo Pape Amadou and Cheikh Goudiaby in the World of Show Biz in 2001 Resounded with as Much Echo as the Song "Yaatal GËew". From their First Album, "Yaakaar", it Remained the Anthem that Called for the Union of the Hearts in a Country that Experienced Deep Political and Social Changes. In 2002 "Mariama" Continues the Tradition of Conscious Awareness in a Warm, Earthly Manner that this Duo is Now Known For. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Hybrid, February 25, 2003

Peter Gabriel helped find REAL WORLD RECORDS to not only get world music out there and recognized, but to spotlight unique acts like Pape and Cheikh - two musicians schooled in the traditional musical styles of their corner of Africa combine western melodies and instruments to create a harmoney-and-beat heavy syrupy sound. Very enjoyable...

4.0 out of 5 stars Their strong social conscience songs moved a nation, September 1, 2004

This review is from: Mariama (Audio CD)

Pape and Cheikh are folk-rock singer/songwriters from Senegal: their strong social conscience songs moved a nation, and move their latest cd MARIMBA.
 None are sung in English, so you'll have to read the liner notes to gain their meaning and impact - but the music is hard-hitting even for those who don't know the language.
