5 out of 5 stars Truely Magic.......2003-12-28

I truely loved this album. Alport Mhlanga and his MaP Marimba band are truely gifted artists, to have been able to produce such a wonderful album. I have listened to the songs carefully, and the richness in textures and rythms make this CD so worth-while. I recommend this album fully. It's worth every cent you pay!

5 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing.......2002-05-22

I'm a student at a school in MA, a while ago the band came to our school to perform. Unlike most other music made now-a-days, this band really loves to play. The band consists of 10 high-school kids ranging from 2 to 13 years mariba-playing expierince. They currently attend Mara a Pula high-school in Botswana (north of South Africa), the best school in Botswana, and maybe the best in the southern part of the continent. While they sound great live, the CD trys to capture the excitement and comes close to doing so. Overall, why not support ten great teenagers from one the poorest nations in the world. rating- * * * * *

4 out of 5 stars map marimba is awesome live.......2002-05-05

listened to a live performance of them in Providence, RI and they are really good. If you are into any kind of ethnomusic, map marimba is for you. Why 4 stars ? their music is more visual and it may be a little difficult to appreciate when hearing for the first time. So either watch them live or give them some time and it should be fun
