Reviews

Rolling Stone 12/99: "Das wirkt nicht nur bei den Kleinen: 14 sparsam instrumentierte Gute-Nacht-Geschichten in den Landessprachen des schwarzen Kontinents in einem detailverliebten Schuber. Besonderer Reiz:Außer den Herren von Ladysmith und Zimbabwe-Legende Chiweshe wiegen noch unentdeckte Künstler vom Mande-Reich bis in den Swahili-Raum die Kleinen sicher in den Schlaf."
