(Sticks - Drummers Mag / Germany)
"It is very clear and clean. One djembe solo and one dunun on each track. The djembe minimalist's dream. This CD has a few tracks by one of the oldest djembe grandmasters alive today. I think he is in his 80's. [note: the recordings are from 1995; jenbe soloists Yamadu Dunbia (1917-2002) and Jaraba Jakite (1953-2005) have passed away in thre meanwhile] When Abdouli Diakite listened to this grandmaster playing he told me, "this man is a master". I have never heard Abdouli say that so clearly about anyone before. Listen closely to his solo style and phrasing. It is the closest you can find to the original sound because he was alive playing djembe before it became popular and was modified by the younger generation. This CD offers a special chance for serious students."
