: World Discoveries (USA) wrote about this CD in July 2004:
The Jobarteh family is a large, respected family of Jails or Griots in the Manding families of West Africa, and Kunda is the Manding word for family or clan. Strangely, the co-leader of the group, Tormenta Jobarteh, was not born into the family: he's originally from Germany - it's finally happening, we now have 'African' bands co-founded by Westerners who traveled to Africa in the 1980s and 90s to study or apprentice under African musicians. (...) "The eight-piece combo do a very good job of bringing traditional Manding music of the Gambia into the modern world without losing the feel of the original. Tormenta Jobarteh plays kora and talking drum amazingly well for a person who grew up in Munich, and his co-leader Mori Dioubate plays balafon (marimba) and guitar. On their second album ALI HEJA, the group takes a great leap forward with a couple of personnel changes: guitarist Teddy Toure brings a true late-20th century African sound to the band - very professional now; not so experimental as before. (...) the group vocals (...) are truly wonderful (...). This is a band to watch out for!
