This is a stunning record. Ace Afro-Frankfurter Gunter Gretz went to Manfila's hometown of Kankan and recorded him and various relatives, including balafonist Balla Balla. As you'd expect of a family of griots, there's magnificent traditional singing here, along with acoustic and electric guitar and superb balafon. Gretz's notes are both eccentric and very revealing, with a long account of the sundry hazards of field recording. ~ John Storm Roberts, Rovi
