“What an extraordinary and successful debut this collaboration of Dutch and Malian musicians has become!”

“Creemers leads the way with his guitar-like approach to bass playing. Naamu is thus a thoroughly enjoyable jaunt replete with earthy grooves and dazzling vocals.”
“My favourite of the album: the opening track À Nyininka with that sublime bass line. Never heard anything like it coming from a bass guitar before!”
