Free Music Notes for Missing You (Mi Yeewnii)
Free Music Review: A great album!
Hit: 5 Stars
What else can I say, this is a great album. I have had little experience with African music, and this makes me want to experience much much more. I just hope this hasn't spoiled my taste.Free Music Review: This is a gorgeous collection of songs
Hit: 5 Stars
If you like Baaba Maal, you will love this disc. If you have never heard Baaba Maal but like African music, you will at least like this disc. If you have never heard West African music before, buy this disc. It is beautifully rich, acoustic, soulful, celebratory, sad, mesmerizing and although I can't speak a word of whatever language Baaba Maal uses (and he uses more than one) I try to sing along nevertheless. I think this is Baaba Maal at his best.Free Music Review: Wow!

[...].I had never heard of Baaba Maal before. What a shame that more international music is not played in the U.S. This music is alive! It is so joyous and so pure and so full of spirit. Step outside of your comfort zone and give a listen to this CD. It will blow you away...Highly recommended!Free Music Review: One of the best albums, period.
Hit: 5 Stars
Rarely does an album work on so many levels. I don't even know what the words mean, but somehow with his extraordinary voice and the stunning orchestration I feel like I know exactly the scene and emotion that Baaba Maal is writing about. This album absolutely transports you to where he is. It is one of the few albums that are truly transcendant in that way. I had my introduction to "world music" and African music through Peter Gabriel's "Passion" soundtrack, and while this album's tone is much different, it is every bit as evocative. It is such a shame that so many people are unaware of how much magnificent music there is in other parts of the world. Hopefully this album will open up eyes and draw new listeners to what is real and true in music.Free Music Review: Exquisite
Hit: 5 Stars
This is Baaba Maal at his finest - not in a hyped, multi-producer track featuring guests who add nothing. No, this is Baaba Maal acoustic. His voice ricochets around you - its pure sound just enveloping you. The kora, balafon and drums on the disc are also perfect. Baaba Maal is, indeed, one of the greatest band leaders and composers of our time. Don't get me wrong, I love his electric band too. But, with Mi Yeewnii, Baaba Maal and his acoustic group gives you roots music at its most affecting and exquisite.
