According to Songlines magazine his voice is warm and slightly husky and his songs are splendidly lyrical and supported by excellent guitar playing, with a touch of piano here, and gentle percussion there. His music brings to mind an acoustic Salif Keita and is a reminder of Africa's musical talent.
