I still care, Lepus, I still care! I just live, you know, a thousand miles away or something like that...and will have to miss the festival as usual. Re: Solo Cissokho, I have that CD of him with Kirsten Braten Berg and it has some very lovely moments. Not GREAT (I get sick of the everpresent mouth harps) but pretty good. Actually I used some of it in a short video I made last year for my museum. In fact I like his singing better than hers, and I wish there were more of his kora playing on the record. But then, I start from the position of really liking Senegalese music. Well, do keep an open mind and let us know how you like it, and everything else. Your reviews are not only substantively useful, they make me laugh. Cheers, Margaret
