The groove on Badala is an absolute monster. If this doesn't move you, you might as well check yourself into the ER to make sure you aren't dead because the groove is DEEP and HARD. Polygondwanajams
Nahawa Doumbia has a beautiful voice that fits perfectly with the arrangements accompanying her on these songs. What is there not to love in this album? It's all beauty. Thibaut Devigne
