PRAISE FOR SONGS OF LAKE VOLTA

​

Sonograma.org: "The new record ... is the best we've heard in a long time of what we call world music.” “The writing of the voice is rich and varied, expanded by instruments, such as the piano, the guitar, the bass and percussion of the Kinetic group and the stringed instruments of the Kassia Ensemble, which give it a different color to each song." "Both the composer and the performers make a fascinating, in depth, approach to a creative universe. A record that is a real treasure.” (translation by Google Translate)

​

Textura.org: “Songs of Lake Volta draws magnificent connecting threads from classical music and contemporary jazz to the music of West Africa."
