Los Angeles Times, CD Review >>
The lead guitarist for the veteran Guinean Afro-pop band
Bembeya Jazz, Diabete has rightfully earned the nickname
"Diamond Fingers." "Guitar Fo" showcases him in a different
setting, mostly playing acoustic guitar with sparse,
unobtrusive backing. A few tracks display the searing
virtuosity of his Bembeya performances. But most of the
album reveals a far more diverse range of styles, from
lyrical ballads and Caribbean rhythms to - unexpectedly -
Hawaiian steel guitar. 08/01/04
