With over 10 people on this record to help provide the sound, this album is nothing short of really enjoyable worldly music. There are a few tracks where a wonderful voice appears to be singing in French, and the vocals are pretty dawn gone good. Jazz would normally be the genre I would tag this too, but with some of the other beats and vocals it jumps over to a World Composition. Pretty good, enjoyable for sure. Tracks 2, 4, 7, and 11 were the best in my opinion.
