Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally intended to be the recording session that instead produced the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, this long-delayed cross-cultural project finally united elite musicians from Mali and Cuba. The resulting album is a vibrant, incredibly joyful exchange of West African and Caribbean musical traditions, nominated for a Grammy for Best Traditional World Music Album.
