5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - but it's all on other albums, September 17, 2002

By	Thomas Hastings (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sambolera (Audio CD)

Khadja Nin's music is absolutely fabulous - sexy, catchy, soulful intelligent African pop. But every song on this album is on either "Khadja Nin" or "Ya Pili", with the single exception of Sina Mali, Sina Deni which has appeared before on a compilation album (United Voices of Africa).

Does this album really capture the best songs from the first two? I don't think so - I'd recommend buying "Ya Pili" first (despite the title, which means "second") and then if you're hooked (which you probably will be) you won't hesitate to buy "Khadja Nin" and "Ya".

5.0 out of 5 stars Khadja Nin's music speaks to the soul., July 22, 1999

By A Customer

I received this CD from a friend from France who lived in Sengal for a while. Khadja Nin sings in French and in Bambara, a language spoken in Senegal. Both are absolutley lovely to listen to, and if you like music that speaks to your very heart and soul, regardless of the lyrics, then this is a CD for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superstar, August 8, 1999

By	Hans-Bernd Hülsmann (Germany) - See all my reviews

This nice african lady from burundi presents a perfect blend of pop, smoothjazz and world-music. You can compare her music with the similiar sound of Angélique Kidjo or Wes. If you dont know this music, buy it. You will not regret.
