"Anyone having to assemble a compilation of Malian music is faced with an embarrassment of riches. It's not what you put in, but what you have to leave out. There are very few missteps here ... a primer, it's great, an introduction to so many excellent artists, and gives a strong flavor of the country's musical geography".

"This is about as close as you could hope to get to a first-choice primer for the music of a country that's right at the top of the musical league table".

"Vurdering: Adequate" - "Useful intro to the most musically fertile of nations: greats include Ali Faka Touré and Toumani Diabaté, Vieux Farka Touré, Nahawa Doumbia and Oumou Sangaré. But it's the nightingale voice of Ibrahim Hamma Dicko - who died in 1995 - that packs the surprise punch here".
