• A central figure of today’s vibrant music-scene in Guinea, Amadou was originally a member of the Horoya-Band, one of the most popular groups in Guinea, and was also featured on Ousmane Kouyate’s classic album of 1990, ‘Domba’.

• This is his 2nd solo album and positively drips with talent, not least Kante Manfila and Ousmane Kouyate (of Les Ambassadeurs and Salif Keita) on guitar, Djeli Moussa Diawara on kora, and Sekouba Bambino on additional vocals.

• Multi-layered arrangements that sensitively balance the electric with the acoustic, the album is a perfect vehicle for this singer/composer and has already prompted fRoots to dub it “a genuine classic”.

• Presented here in a gatefold digipack with brief biographical data and anintroduction to the artist, it includes 2 bonus tracks taken from his first album.

Songlines - Rose Skelton

For something different and refreshingly unpretentious from West Africa, this is really worth getting hold of. ***
