Hawa Kasse Mady’s sumptuous vocals have been compared to Mahalia Jackson (a remarkable gospel number is included here), while Fodé Lassana is a balafon player of the highest artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKronos here are frequently in full-blooded engagement, whether in rhythmic propulsion, whole-quartet solos, or the climactic shrieks and rasps of \u003cem\u003eEh Ya Ye\u003c\/em\u003e. Elsewhere they offer respectful, sensitive underpinning and beautiful interplay.
