    On Samba he has returned to uphold the majestic grace that made his father’s music so compelling. Within the traditions of the music he is playing Touré continues to develop his own sound world.

    It's a raucous portrait of a well-drilled band on fire. [Jul 2017, p.87]

    Slick yet lively, powerful yet clear. Samba (“second-born” in Songhai) showcases Touré’s step up towards the mastery of his famous father; he is now an accomplished bandleader, singer and songwriter, to go alongside his obvious talents with the six-string.

    It's moodily compelling, rather than electrifying. [Jul 2017, p.39]
