CD Reviews

What a voice!

J. Senter | Connecticut | 01/13/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This woman has an amazing voice. I do not speak her language but do not need to. Her music speaks for itself. Deeply spiritual."

Exquisite

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As someone who grew up in Africa, I find this CD one of the best in a long time. I also have "Wanita" by the same artist, but I have not been able to stop listening to "Bowmboi" since I got it. The first track "M'Bifo" is beautiful, but the last track "Bowmboi" is exquisite. Now I have to admit that I ordered the current CD after reading about it on th Kronos Quartet website, but hey, African music does not belong in a museum. It has to evolve, like any genre of music."
