    Dark, minatory rhythms underpin stark lyrics telling of hard times in the north of Mali. [May 2015, p.95]
  2. The Wire

    The tempo is seldom above a crawl, and Toure's guitar weaves a crackling bed of thorns that even the typically crystalline over-production can't completely smooth out. [Mar 2015, p.59]
  3. The Quietus

    The flawless tracks on Gandadiko roll together with the ease of a musician at his best. The resilient message of Samba's lyrics in the face of adversity is ably backed up by the sonic power of the music with a confident hypnotic flow throughout.
