Billboard, CD Review >>
Senegalese vocalist Julia Sarr and French flamenco guitarist Patrice Larose offer an easy-to-enjoy collaboration on "Set Luna." Sarr has a lovely, expressive voice, and there seems to be no end to the subtlety of her interpretive gift. Both artists profit from contributions by guitarist Ricardo Garcia and percussionists Taffa Cissé and Mino Cinelu. Also note the formidable Youssou N'Dour's vocal on "Set Luna Djamonodjî." "Set Luna" is an enchanting mélange of vocal, percussion and string textures that spin out in 12 pleasingly unpredictable tunes. Shades of Al-Andalus, Wolof tradition, jazz and Euro ballads are drawn into these tracks and, by some astute alchemy, become beautiful music.
