"Ngoni master Aboubakar Traoré and his Balima group explore kinetic West African rhythm on Sababu (Zephyrus Records), soaring on the guitar and ngoni interplay of Politiki”
Guardian (Global Album of the Month)
"Sababu convinces on all levels. Firmly rooted in Burkina Faso culture and history and ever-respectful of ancient griot traditions, the music transcends time and geographical borders, creating an album of hope, pride and optimism. Above all, it is an album of celebration.”
KLOF
“Their second album travels in the footsteps of Mandingo griot storytellers but updates the sonic backdrop, which is hypnotic but also has an oomph that might appeal to rock-friendly festival audiences.”
Arts Desk
“A celebration of pride in Africa with music that transcends borders while remaining deeply rooted in Burkina Faso” Morning Star
“An absolutely cracking album.”
Kathryn Tickell (Music Planet, BBC Radio 3)
