"I heard just one song off this cd on my local public radio station and it was enough for me to jot it down and seek it out. Very lyrical, very deep, very intimate, very political, very real. One of my two favorites, "Days Going By in Broken English" addresses with great wit the cultural changes going on just out of the corner of our collective eye. The sensuality of "A Kiss in Deep Time" touched me in a special place...and that's all I'll say about that. Sekou succesfully combines spoken word w/ Jazz. A great CD, looking forward to his latest."
One of the most talented voices.

"Sekou Sundiata has, without a doubt, one of the most talented voices in this time. I had the pleasure and honor of hearing him perform serveral times and I was blown away. First, by discovering I liked something called Jazzoetry, and secondly by loving it. BUY THIS CD!"
So good

This is the perfect blend of poetry/sound and Spirit!

"Sekou Sundiata is the closest thing I've seen to an American form of a Jamaican dub poet..."Blink Your Eyes" is a poem never to be forgotten....in the classroom it is a fabulous tool for the discussion of social injustice."
