I give it three stars because the dunun playing far outshines the jembe playing on this one. The recording quality ranges between pretty good and very good. Nice Conakry-style singing, bala, kora, bolon, fle.

i also voted 3 stars.

i like the mendiani and fan kelen the most.

fode bangoura and mito play some lead on the CD as well.

mangue is a super chill guy tho and a great teacher.

to say he's a beast on ballet duns is a gross understatement.

I think you mean Kolipe, not Mito, right? It sounds like Kolipe on Mamaya Koura. Lavia is on there, too.
