ReviewsIncluded in Wire Magazine's "50 Records of the Year '99", "...Further Exploring the Taproot of the Blues....Niafunke Is a Rich, Subtle Piece of Work...", "...Toure's use of complex hand percussion,...violin, and a female call-and-response chorus will remind you that the rhythms of the Niger River...are the supple influences thatmake NIAFUNKE such a special message...", "...The blues strand is still much in evidence and deeply satisfying, but Toure at home seems more than ever in touch with Mali's indigenous musical tradition, the richness of which has few parallels anywhere in the world...", Included in Cmj's "New World '99 Top 5.", "...The blues reign supreme here once again....the original bluesman delves even further into prehistoric rock...", 4 stars (out of 5) - "...Toure comes home in style....the kind of big-boned, backyard affair that no amount of elaborate studio technology can match....NIAFUNKE marks a welcome step backwards. And a good three forward."
