"Asha's Baba has recorded a beautiful selection of West African story telling and music that will educate, entertain and inspire. He plays the kora, an African harp, which has such a beautiful sound, it could lull a baby to sleep. And his storytelling, with all of the authentic background noises, really makes you feel as if you were sitting there listening to this djeli. The drumming in the music make for a complete African experience that you will want to share. The CD is a great gift idea for any age, but make sure you have a copy for yourself as well."
One of the Best Storytelling CD's you can buy.

""We think this is one of the finest storytelling CD's we have heard and we are giving it our "Storyteller.net Director's Award." The CD itself is a story that crafts the tales, music and drumming within into a sound scultpture. It's hard for a teller to find a way to balance story and music, but Baba has done so here. Listening to this CD is a treat where your ears and your heart will thank you. Really, a "must have" for anyone who is fan of storytelling and a nice example of how to do it right if you are thinking about making a CD. If Amazon runs out of stock, just order anyway, it's well worth the wait as more arrive."-Storyteller.net Reviews"
