"Once upon a time, two Malians met in Bamako while performing with the choir of the blind home where they lived. They formed a duo and made beautiful music together in Burkina Faso and the Ivory Coast as "The Blind Couple of Mali." Then they released Sou Ni Tile and lived happily ever after. That's the simple story of Amadou Bagayoko and Mariam Doumbia. The first notes of the ballad, "Je Pense a Toi" ("I Think of You") are played not on West African kora or calabash, but the South Indian tabla. Yet this lush, mournful tune is absolutely Malian. Amadou's painful cry of love twines in and out of the violin lines, while the rich guitar chords pull the melody along over the smooth stroking electric bass and plush keyboards. The entire album is a taut balance between sadness and joy." (rootsworld.com)
