Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba: I Speak Fula
May 4th, 2011 by gcunniff
“There’s a real sense of assurance and outright confidence about this disc, as he’s moved from a fairly raw sense of desert blues — unusual inasmuch as it was all played on ngoni lutes — to something that’s far more extroverted, and at times, pure rock & roll as he looses off solos that are gratifyingly electric…a very important disc indeed.” –All Music Guide
