"This is the single best ALBUM of 2005. If I ruled the world, I would give any and all best musical artist awards to Yannick Noah for an OUTSTANDING job on this CD. His voice is so beautiful, passionate, deep, and encompassing, and the best part is- I don't understand a word he is saying!



It is impossible for me to sound like a decent reviewer here... I can't help but gush like an overjoyed child. I am serious when I say that HE IS AMAZING and his songs are beautiful, fun, danceable, and meaningful (check out La Voix De Sages.) He is able to blend reggae with a soulful edge, with classical guitar beats, and hard, rythmic drums with a background gospel that, when I close my eyes, I can only imagine would be the background music I would want if I were traveling in Africa. This is what is amazing: You don't NEED to close your eyes (or shell out any money) for a trip to paradise... whether through the sparkling expanse of blue waters on the coast to the grasslands in the mainland... you are just, simply, beautifully, THERE.



I hope this man is able to have a lifetime of success and happiness on the foundation of his musical career. He deserves it. And it's about time the world had a wakeup call to what great music is."
