Album Notes & Community Reviews
The critically acclaimed debut from the Malian singer-songwriter notably modernizes traditional West African folk without relying on Western electronic instrumentation. Instead, Traor茅 creates deeply rhythmic, acoustic arrangements featuring the ngoni and balafon, perfectly complimenting her pristine vocal delivery and socially conscious lyricism.
