5.0 out of 5 stars Best Live Reggae since Bob Marley and the Wailers., July 21, 2001

The best live reggae recording since Bob Marley and the Wailers Live. This two CD live recording captures Alpha Blondy and his band at their best. Alpha Blondy surrounds himself with a great reggae rhythm group but also horns and voices. The music is reggae dancing at its best. CD will remind you not only of the Wailers but also Paul Simon's Graceland. Lyrics are in English and French, however it does not matter as the music says it all. This is a perfect summer CD, will have you dancing no matter where you are.

5.0 out of 5 stars a real good cd, July 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Paris Bercy (Audio CD)

I recommend this cd. It is a double cd and represents the greatness of Alpha Blondy. He is a cool dude and probably my next favorite artist to Bob Marley. Tracks 8 "Sweet Fanta Diallo" and 9 "Assinie Mafia" are two great songs back to back. I wish my copy hadn't gotten scratched cause it is hard to find, but you can always order it off this site.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Blondy Vibe, New Millennium Style, June 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Paris Bercy (Audio CD)

This two-disc set kept me groovin' all afternoon. It's an excellent collection of tracks done live, alpha-millennium style, with nary a dud in the bunch.
