- "...straight into "Sey", with mbalax
star Thione Seck declaiming in his classic gentleman-griot manner over
high-stepping salsa piano and cracking rhythms. Thione's voice is as light
and boyish as ever, imbued with that inimitable mixture of urbanity and
mystical yearning that has kept him at the forefront of Senegalese music
for over twenty-five years." (Mark Hudson)
