"Singing in Malinke, Bambara, Dogon, English - and a dash of Spanish - Koité deliberately draws on styles and rhythms from all over the country ... It takes time to appreciate the quality of this CD. It's understated and densely-woven. Live, Koité can whip it up as good as anyone, but this is not a dance record. It's national reconciliation time for Mali. The album carries weight".
