Omar Sosa and Seckou Keita - SUBA

NIGEL WILLIAMSON, UNCUT MAGAZINE

'floating felicitously between spiritual jazz, New Age ambience and African tradition with splashes of classical cello and flute on a record that offers balm and solace’

MICHAEL TUCKER, JAZZ JOURNAL

'the musicianship evinces a composite mastery, synthesising as it does – with judicious harmonic colour and exquisite dynamic alertness – both intricate and openly cast aspects of melody, rhythm and atmosphere'

Dave Haslam, RnR MAGAZINE

‘Startlingly beautiful and emotionally charged music that transcends genres’

Dave Haslam, RnR MAGAZINE

‘Music that reflects their shared African heritage, their humanity and their spirituality’

JIM GILCHRIST, THE SCOTSMAN

'The combination of Sosa’s piano prowess and the mercurial brilliance of Keita’s harp-lute is a potent one'

MICHAL BONZCA, MORNING STAR ONLINE

‘An unhurried elegance of what Sosa calls “minimalismo” articulates this utterly modern musical idiom’

SONGLINES

‘Mezzo ivories and chiming kora glisten in heavenly iridescence as Keita rich voice glides across fluttery instrumental lattice with occasional jazzy outbreaks.’

IVANA POPOVIC AT THE WHOLE NOTE

'a melodious microcosm of quietude and hope'

GEORGE W. HARRIS JAZZ WEEKLY

‘The entire album sounds like a serene sunset in the Sahel desert, with sparkling stars, spacious horizons and wondrous panoramas.’
