Review:
A riveting concert featuring Senegalese superstar Baaba Maal, recorded live at London's Royal Festival Hall in July, 1999. Maal has long been known for his exciting live performances and this well-recorded live show does a nice job of capturing his energy. Enhancing Maal's impassioned vocals are the backup vocalists of The Choir Connexion and the remarkable energy and sweet grooves of the band Daande Lenõl ("voice of the people"), with no less than eight percussionists. Of particular note are duets with The Screaming Orphans and a guest appearance by legendary Jamaican guitarist Ernest Ranglin on the lovely "Koni." — CalabashMusic.com |
