Atongo Zimba's new studio album marks both a return to and reworking of some old songs the troubadour used to sing in Fra Fra and play in the countryside, streets and market stalls in his native Ghana and a new step forward in his collaborative efforts experimenting with international musicians.
His characteristic willingness to jam with local musicians and soak up musical styles is clearly audible on his new musical collaboration.
It is a more reflective record then his previous Savannah Breeze release - showing his mellower side, in an unplugged setting.
The overall tone of the album adheres more closely to the rural roots of his Fra Fra tribal tradition that has more in common with the griot music of the Sahel than the highlife and more hybrid pop sounds of the tropical coast of Ghana.
