"I fell in love with Tama's music at this summer's WOMAD USA festival, catching all three of their performances during the three day event in Seattle. A favorite of many festival goers, they had their audiences dancing with delight at the melodic beauty and soulful sincerity of their sound. Their release Nostalgie does not disappoint, but captures the essence of their live performance. Anyone who appreciates World Music in general and Malian music from artists such Ali Farka Toure will enjoy this recording."
Hand in hand with sarala

"this cd came out for me few months after i got the cd Sarala by Jones & Tidiane-Seck. right away the similarities were so obvious. this cd adds to the first one more flavor and keeps the dialogue open. compositions are mixture of ancient and modern ways to express the past and offer an underlining message of love, peace and unity. music is calming and energetic. only criticism i have is duration of the songs, they should've been kept more spontanious and in their aged length, but oh well, maybe next time."
