An album of great serenity, somewhere between the work of Amadou & Mariam, who Idrissa worked with and shared a calm optimism ("Let's love and embrace each other for our stay in this world is so short," he sings here), and that of Ali Farka Touré, who's guitar and voice shine through on "Bérébéré".

The album is full of "kote," a self-created form of Soumaoro's that incorporates elements of theater, humor, and satire, but sounds like, essentially, acoustic blues with a small chorus of backup singers. The songs might not stray much, but they run a straight course at a high level that's worth hearing.
