5 out of 5 stars A 'must have' for any avid Baaba Maal listener .......2004-09-01

Baaba Maal's name is standard among West African musicians and he's forged a name for himself in a powerful fusion of traditional and contemporary African-based sounds; but where are his roots?
ýThey lie right here, in the BEST OF THE EARLY YEARS collection: simply a 'must have' for any avid Baaba Maal listener who would appreciate his 1980s and 90s efforts, from his first album Wango to the 1992 Lam Touro and beyond.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to this African pop superstar.......2004-01-17

A fine, representative collection of this Senegalese superstar's work from 1988-94. The opening tracks are gorgeous -- loping, sensuous jams with the classic West African guitar sound of the 1970s, and even a few dips into the Afro-Pop sound of Fela Kuti. The second half of this disc, though, lingers on lush, overwrought pop production styles that I personally find kind of a turn-off, but other world music fans may adore. For an even-handed look at his Maal's early career, this is a very good introduction. The liner notes can also help steer you towards individual albums that may be to your liking.
