World Music Central, Getting to Know These African Women >>
-By Tom Orr
Senegambian singer Julia Sarr handles the sweetly breathy vocals on Set Luna (which means something like "so I've seen" in Wolof), but rightly sharing equal billing is French guitarist Patrice Larose. Together the two create a warm and quietly thrilling Afro-flamenco fusion that goes from intimate to explosive and never fails to delight. There are pensive, moody songs here as well as rhythmically jumpy pieces that present the best of both worlds, splitting the difference between Iberia and West Africa with a respectful symbiosis that always lands on its feet. Additional strengths include guest vocals by Youssou N'Dour and Mino Cinelu's snappy percussion throughout. Recommended. 03/09/06 >> go there
