Review
While it doesn't seem like it from the release date, this was recorded early in Baaba Maal's career, before he became an international superstar. And though it's not as sophisticated as his later work, the elements that would bring him true success are in place, with a tight band and imaginative compositions like "Demga Lam" and "Baydikacce" that draw as much from reggae as from Maal's native Senegal. The production is somewhat dated, but the melodies and excellent voice are in fine shape, harking back to the time when Maal was the main challenger to Youssou N'Dour's Dakar crown, before they both became global favorites. Maal's more rural background is reflected in the acoustic tones and samples of "Ngawla." Jombaajo offers insight into the development of Maal's career and the pathway to superstardom. Not a classic, but a worthwhile stop on the journey. --Chris Nickson
