Over the years Sally has crafted a truly unique style that reflects her childhood in Africa and her adult life in Europe, with pygmy-inflected voices set to the beat of a boiling percussion section and penetrating bass lines. As an activist, a storyteller, and an artist her words are poetic and progressive. The title track in particular, performed in several languages, is a great anthem for our multicultural world; other songs deal with solidarity and racism, ancestors, environmental issues. Fans of her and Zap Mama's previous work (Sally was a Zap Mama and she's accompanied here by 2 other Zap Mama members) will be excited by the new directions she takes into some even more challenging arrangements on this 1998 release; it's a solid and enjoyable recording from one of the best voices in African music today.
