    Wonderful! This album is one of the best so far this year. personally, when there are lyrics in languages you dont understand, it adds a satisfying sense of escape from the world around you. this album is meant to be an escape where the sound is everything. great example of breaking musical borders and creating new mixtures of feelings. definitally listen to this!

    The result is cultural exchange with ears pricked high.

    This never takes off the way Welcome to Mali did. But it does hang in there, and rewards attention.

    Ultimately, Folila fits right into that legacy, while managing to expand it just a little further.
