This intimate collection (on the French Sonodisc label) captures Mali's
Amadou & Mariam without their propulsive band behind them. A couple of songs from
Tje Ni Mousso and
Sou Ni Tile have been re-recorded for this set, but the majority of numbers are new. Though these performances are passionate and worthwhile, this husband and wife's recordings with a full ensemble aren't easily surpassed. ~ Brian Beatty, All Music Guide
