The Guardian



Fenfo – which translates as “something to say” – is a classy affair that demonstrates her impressive musical range

PopMatters



they are careful, adding a touch of Afrofuturism but ultimately not expanding the music too far beyond

Fatoumata Diawara & Roberto Fonseca – At Home

Global A Go-Go



On the surface they have little in common, but look closer: Fonseca’s last album Yo digs deep into West African music, Diawara has been collaborating with powerful jazz-influenced musicians such as Mulatu Astatke and Dee Dee Bridgewater.

WRUV 90.1 FM



It’s a gorgeous meld of Afro-Cuban jazz & soulful Malian blues that blends these two musical traditions synergistically. All tracks are fine!
