5 out of 5 stars More Ismael Lo! Senegal's least known Great Songwriter!.......1998-12-05

In contrast to the above review, I feel that this is as good, if not better, than ISO. With Jammu Africa (Peace to Africa--Pulaar), Lo creates another work of subtle beauty. Nafanta, one of my favorites, evokes the warm wind of the coming rains and the endless horizons of inland Senegal. Reminds of the mythical relaxing bush taxi ride. It is, moreover, very accessible to the American audience-- as long as they can abandon the need to understand the words. As with all African music, the music is the thing, not the content-- though for those who do understand french (or Wolof or Pulaar, though if you understand those languages I doubt you need persuasion to buy this particular CD) he does turn a good phrase. For those who have only heard this record on a scratchy west African market tape, buy this CD. The difference is amazing and, well, everything you expected it would be. I think the duet of Femme Sans Haine is wretched, the worst song on the album and rather like hollywood's version of just about any french movie. Marianne Faithfull sounds like a frog in an oven, and the english translation is hokey. Try Raciste, or Samba et Leuk, or the "dance mix" (as we called it) of Dibi Dibi Rek to get a better feel for the thing. Buy it, you'll love it.

5 out of 5 stars Top Of The Line!!.......1998-08-27

One of my favorite CD'S. This was one of the first Cd, of any genre of music, that I didn't tire of listening to it repeatedly. His voice soothes, and his music reaches. I was wonderful surprise to find Ismael Lo and this Cd 'Jammu Africa'.
