Heavenly Sounds


Anybody who knows me, knows that I absolutely love good music...especially the music of this continent. On any given day you will find the sounds of Mali and Senegal blaring from my stereo. The likes of Ali and Vieux Farka Toure, Alou Sangare, Baaba Maal, Bombino, Habib Koite, Youssou N'dour and many more others. When I listen to their music, I'm more than convinced that's what heaven sounds like.

I'm so loving Baaba Maal's "On The Road-Bootleg Edition Album" I've had it for a few months  now and a week doesn't go by without me playing it. It's 8 tracks of pure musical joy, it brings about so many emotions, it has the power to lift me up, move me to tears and make me wonder what a sad state the world would be in without music.

Like everything else in my life, I judge how good music is, based on how much it moves me. That's why this album gets 5 stars!!
