“Three outstanding Malian and Guinean griots, recorded in a single session in Dakar, guitarists Gaoussou Kouyaté and Kerfala Diabaté are brilliantly underpinned by the subtle rhythmic patterns of Lassana Diabaté’s balafon. 5-stars.” —Songlines; “It is a rare dialogue between balafon and guitar by hereditary West African jali musicians.” —World Music Central; “Ground-breaking griot album.” —Music In Africa; “A Transcendent Dialogue of West African Strings and Rhythm.” —Jazz Chill; “The trio’s name translates as “Guitar Conversations”, a title that reflects both the griot role as cultural storytellers and the cross-continental dialogue." —Rhythm Passport. “The combination of the guitar strings – plucked in dazzling and lyrical runs, damped, strummed and unexpected harmonies, with the complex interlocking and flowery melodic lines on the rosewood keys of the balafon, is hypnotic and entrancing. Definitely one of the most exciting and innovative projects I’ve ever worked on.” -record producer Lucy Durán
