"If you are looking for traditional Gnawa Music,this is the real thing. Everything is kept to a bare minimum, voice,sintir(three string bass lute)and percussion with call and response style chorus. Hakmoun has a smooth but soulful vocal style and his sintir playing is quite impressive. Many of the cuts have long instrumental breaks where Hakmoun really cooks.If african roots music is your thing,run out the door now and get a copy...highly recommeded"
