Ami Koita - Songs Of Praise 1994

Koita sings the ancient songs of her native Mali in an Afro-pop style, with remarkable vocal dexterity. Rarely is danceable music so affecting and spiritual, and Koita devotes herself to her music totally. The liner notes indicate this disc combines two previous albums on a single disc, but there is no indication of what those earlier albums were called. AMG.
