Cosmographer This is one of Sahel Sounds' most beautiful and contemplative releases. I love the guitar playing, the dreamy melodies and the pure honesty of the performance. A stunning record.

Familiar Spirit Rich, beautiful music with a warm timbre. The background noise: birds, voices, snapping fingers, and others places this music in an inviting community context. This is music that welcomes you in. I’m so grateful that this music exists and has been shared with the world. Thank you.

Charlie Moonbeam Raw intriguing and joyous Senegalese folk music.

Sounds best at day’s end with the final fingers of sunlight still visible in the sky. Favorite track: Oumoyiilo.

Lorena Moore Dreamy, calming music for watching turtles swim in the river or seeking rare plants in the swamp forest. Favorite track: Jaanfa.

about

Hailing from northern Senegal, "Lewlewal de Podor" is a Pulaar guitar-centric band that draws from the folk stylings of Fouta Toro. Featured on last year's compilation Ishilan n-Tenere, their first ever full length ranges from mellow acoustic jam sessions to electrified hip shaking concerts.
