«This live recording captures the great Senegalese band around the time of their finest recordings (Amadou-Tilo and Casamance au Clair de Lune) and offers some wonderful performances of their greatest hits, including "Salya" and "Emma." Their accompanying musicians are out in full force; though, with the exception of the occasional cheesy synthesizer fill, they're largely reined in, providing the appropriately surging backdrop to the group's scintillating vocal harmonies and driving West African percussion. Through rhythmic repetition, they were able to develop hypnotic and captivating pieces that were sometimes based on something as mundane as the introduction of bandmembers, a feature that occurs no less than three times over the course of this album but can go almost unnoticed in context. "Emma" is given perhaps its definitive performance here; the keening, poignant vocal line is rendered with heartbreaking directness and the loping rhythm provides just enough melancholic nostalgia. The recording quality is excellent throughout and the band is both as tight as necessary and as loose as one would want them to be. It's a fine introduction to the group as it blends both their roots-oriented approach and their more overtly pop incarnations. Recommended.» (AMG)

"Fallen fallen fallen is Babylon the Great" sang Demis Roussos in Aphrodite's Child's masterpiece, "666". But we all know that this is true only of the historical Babylon. For a new Babel is born, it's all around us, we spend in it every day of our lives. We all know that the global village has many facets, some good and others bad. I personally believe that the best way to fight the Big Brother is to help grow his Great Sisters, cultural biodiversity and cross-cultural hybridisation. Music is perhaps the form of expression whose language is accessible to the widest range of people, so it will be my main focus. In particular, I will take in great consideration those fruitful experiences which build bridges between different musical traditions and genres, or between old and new. So, what are you still waiting for? Just relax and enjoy your ride through the crowded streets of Babe(b)logue!... DJ Radu
