The CD kicks off with the ska-flavored "But Ma Miin," which gallops and sways playfully. According to the liner notes, the tune's lyrics are said to call for respect and open communication between generations. I'll have to take their word for it. The language barrier is no hindrance to enjoying Barthelemy Attisso's nimble guitar work, though. One of the best players on any continent, his solo twists and dips, while Issa Cissokho punctuates the groove with rich sax lines.
