A riveting concert documentary featuring Senegalese superstar Baaba Maal, recorded live at London's Royal Festival Hall in July, 1999. The film captures a magical evening with 70 minutes of phenomenal live sounds. Maal has long been known for his exciting live performances and this well-recorded live show does a nice job of capturing his energy. Enhancing Maal's impassioned vocals are the backup vocalists of The Choir Connexion and the remarkable energy and sweet grooves of the band Daande Len�l ("voice of the people"), with no less than eight percussionists. Of particular note are duets with The Screaming Orphans and a guest appearance by legendary Jamaican guitarist Ernest Ranglin on the lovely "Koni." It's a great show, running the gamut from high-powered, synth-driven numbers to acoustic, traditionally based songs. Respected (London)Guardian music critic Robin Denselow described the show as "(not) just a great African event, (but) one of the shows of the year", while Nigel Williamson of the (London) Times observed that "At the Festival Hall, the Senegalese singer proved once again that no one fuses the tribal rhythms of Africa and contemporary rock grooves with more style and commercial power."
