Ha ha ! I was going to describe the album as uplifting, but your word is just as good,
fazstp. So, we`re agreed; it`s a pretty cheerful album, which is one of the great things about African music - it can be cheerful without being cheesy.
I enjoyed the album too, especially the beautiful kora you can hear on some tracks, and also the unmistakable tone and playing-style of the African electric guitar. Without doubt, I`ll be playing this album again, but even with Mamani`s great voice this album, for me, doesn`t stand out as particularly exceptional, so I`m just voting "Good".
