Over time this has become one of my favorite albums. And that for a 53 year old guy who does like his world music, but mostly blues and rock. Extremely innovative and a lot of fun to listen to.

Wow... Incredibly innovative and wonderful. I discovered this album when I was driving 3.5 hours from JFK to Albany, NY. It was a traumatic experience, moving from the West Coast to the East Coast. The other passengers in the car, my friends, were from highly diverse cultural backgrounds. As we hit the highway, this entire album was playing on the radio - from song 1 to the end. After the first song, we were all hooked. Wow! Myself, I closed my eyes, put the seat back, put my feet up on the dashboard and found myself transported to modern and traditional Africa! Later, we went on a safari mission to find the CD (this was before iTunes). A year later, we eventually found it in The Village, NY. Overall - this album has received incredible reviews and I also give it 5 Stars!
