"A Transcensional album that invites the reason to a higher being or lore. A calm of spiritual enlightening." Reply

"Mostly beautiful, although not quite as good as Djelika, as on Mandé, Diabaté tends to go for easy prettiness on a few numbers, and less adventurous rhythm patterns." Reply

"Album of the year 1956" Reply
"Genius at work. Lucinda at her best. A great album full of her usual melancholy and vision. Country rock, blues and a track (Awakening) that made me think Neil Young. Not a bad track here, she is amazing." Reply

"Certainly the one LP from the 'golden period' that I have played least, there are some tracks on here that I simply cannot recall. Having said that, Big New Prinz, Wrong Place, Right Time and Cab It Up are great and I'm sure watching the live ballet performance would've been interesting." Reply
