"Soutak is a strong musical statement from an artist approaching what may prove to be the peak of her powers. It reflects the sadness and frustration of a people denied but, delivered with such indefatigable intent and rich beauty, also contains seeds of hope and glimmers of optimism that will never be fully extinguished".

"This second album from Spanish based Saharawi (Western Saharan) singer Brahim more than fulfills the promise of her debut ... Where that earlier release featured her lovely passionate voice in settings at times too slap-bang rocky to really allow it to shine, there's no danger of such a thing happening on this semi-acoustic recording ... These are songs of protest and longing (the Saharawi were exiled into refugee camps almost 40 years ago), simple self-penned melodies given haunting arrangements ... This one puts Ms Brahim in the desert blues premier league".
