Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Malian singer-songwriter masterfully incorporates subtle Western blues and jazz influences into traditional Mande folk structures. Anchored by the Gretsch electric guitar alongside the ngoni and balafon, the incredibly soothing, rhythmic album earned her the prestigious Victoires de la Musique award.
