Born and raised in Senegal, Nuru Kane travelled through Morroco and settled in Paris. His broad influences combine to make this debut CD a masterpiece. An uncommonly gifted instrumentalist, Kane plays guitar, bass, and the guimbri - a three-stringed acoustic bass - * and sings alternately in Wolof and French. He masters a wide range of styles, from the infectious afro-pop jitter of "Niane" to the North African trance of "Caribe" and the electrifying powerhouse soul of the title track. Throughout, he exhibits a dexterity and invetiveness to put most famous players to shame.
