    Overrated. Certainly not as good as Ali Farka, Amadou and others.

    Ultimately, this set proves that the debut was no fluke, and this genre-bending meld of street traditions both East and West is capable of appealing to anyone with blood instead of sawdust in her/his veins.

    When you consider the current crop of supposedly afrobeat influenced indie rock, Warm Heart Of Africa is, if you’ll excuse the pun, The Very Best.

    Naming a band The Very Best may seem like posturing, but on the evidence of Warm Heart Of Africa they're on to something.
