"On his new album, which boasts 10 guests singing in Arabic, Portuguese and Spanish as well as English, there's very much a focus on variety without skimping on authenticity. You've got your wistful folksy soul on "You Will Return" with Alice Russell, the barrio-rousing call-and-response of "La Plata" and "Muevelo Nuegro" with Nidia Gongora, some heavyweight dancehall with veteran singjay Shinehead, the aforementioned cumbia, a couple of sparse but still funky instrumentals and finally some psychedelic folk to finish on. It's all delivered with assurance, blending an often disparate menu into an accomplished meal through warm, considered production that blurs boundaries through tasteful electro-acoustic touches rather than by confronting tradition".
