    Este es simplemente un increíble viaje espiritual con una carga de cultura enorme y demasiado importante que le dará consuelo, felicidad y energía a los corazones internacionales. Este Jazz esta dirigido por Coldcut y conformado por un grupo enorme de personas demasiado importantes para el legado eterno de la música. Con letras sobre el amor, el alma, la familia y la unión, desde México, Keleketla! me hace sentir parte del mundo. La producción es magnifica, con una orquesta de instrumentos muy bien organizados y una pizca de influencias digitales, este ambiente sube y baja entre bailes y suspiros. Una maravilla que el espacio en Instagram no me permitirá describir completamente y, aún así, se quedaría corta a tener la experiencia completa. Por favor escuchen este álbum.

    This is simply an incredible spiritual journey with such a big and really important cultural weight that will give consolation, happiness, and energy to international hearts. This Jazz is directed by Coldcut and conformed by a gigantic group of very relevant people for the eternal legacy of music. With lyrics about love, the soul, the family, and union, here from México, Keleketla! makes me feel part of the world. The production is magnificent, with an instrumental orchestra well organized and a glimpse of digital influences, this ambient goes up and down between dances and sighs. A wonder that the space in Instagram won't let me describe completely and, if I could, words would be short compared to the full experience. Please listen to this album.    … Expand

    This record is significant; need to listen carefully to understand the different ways of expressing the sentiment of the South African team Keleketla! [which means "response" in Sepedi]. Very interesting to feel the energy with different rhythms; there is afrobeat, garage and nu jazz around the trip. And the end is just... WOW. Yes, that's the word [and in capital]: WOW.

    Consistently exciting, always surprising, and full of soul, it is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable releases of the year to date.

    In short, it’s an album that demonstrates the continuing merit of musical collaboration while also offering a hopeful counterpoint to a world all too often consumed by negativity and strife.

    Here, the component parts of hip-hop, jazz, dub and protest music are pieced together, like the many languages of a diasporic conversation. If the call is for music, Keleketla!’s mutlilingual, effusive response is one worth hearing.
