Oh Dear Me, This Is Good

Rokia Traoré: Kounandi (Nonesuch, 2008)
I've been carrying this CD around in my bag for about a month, attracted by the name and the label. I always thought it would be, y'know, interesting, but I never actually expected it to this good. And, honestly, this is really, really good. If you like this track - and I can't for a moment think of a reason why you wouldn't - you will like the whole record. Which is great. Did I mention that already?

ha! yes, that's right, it's a tiny pink, patent leather one I got from Dress For Less. It has kittens on it. And a flower.

I'd recommend an earlier album of Rokia's too Rob. It's called 'Wanita' and it's rather lovely.
