5.0 out of 5 stars Instant classic!!!, October 1, 2006
By Ben Jackson (Tampa Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Like a Refugee (Audio CD)
I love it. I keep singing the songs over and over in my head (as does my two year old daughter!!!). I know the band is on tour this Fall too!!! I would love to see them. I like others have been so moved by this inspirational story!!! Everyone should also try and see the documentary movie that was made about them if they get a chance, what a wonderful story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Living Like A Refugee, October 5, 2006
This review is from: Living Like a Refugee (Audio CD)
I certainly agree with Bill Flanagan at CBS News who said, "this music is fantastic...uplifting...and beautiful." It is especially inspirational given the fact that this amazingly powerful music comes from a group of musicians thrown together as a result of a gruesome, brutal war that took away their homes, their livelihoods and, in many cases, their entire families. And to fully appreciate the album, find a way to see the super documentary about this group. The film is called "The Refugee AllStars." What a story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Universally Loved, December 5, 2006
This review is from: Living Like a Refugee (Audio CD)
Having never heard of the All Stars I attended a recent live performance upon recommendation. I looked them up prior and read about the story of how they came together. What an amazing story! I am a huge lover of African music and Reggae. However, i'm very particular about these genres. For reggae I am a strict lover of music with themes rooted in political angst, fights for freedom, and love for people, God, and country. The Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars encompass all these things and I was blown away! So much angst and suffering by these musicians and many Africans in general have helped to produce this truly inspiring music. Many of these songs have small story like introductions. Considering the suffering these musicians endured this music really is a celebration and love of life. The rapper that you hear in many of the songs with a gutteral-like voice is only 15!! He sound is incredibly mature and astonishing. If you get the opportunity to see them, please do. Their energy and charisma is entrancing and involving. You'll love them if you have any love for world music, reggae, even hip hop. But truly, you will love them more if Africa is in your heart at all.
