Great African Music, May 18, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Songs from the Village (Audio CD)
This is a fantastic album. Its very raw and not over-produced like a lot of albums out there. It really captures the warmth, simplicity, and honesty of the African way. A couple songs are simply multi-part harmony over almost hypnotic percussion using traditional instruments. The rest incorporate an acoustic guitar or two to provide a nice melody line. The singing is almost all in tribal language. On a couple songs they use their pidgin English a bit which at first may sound "un-African" but you get used to it especially when you realize that's part of their background. Very chill beautiful music.
