Traditional Instruments And Rhythms Mix Freely With Sounds And Ideas From The Present Day And Tolno Singing Alternately In The Minority Guinean Kissi Language English And French Belts It Out In Appealingly Husky Style. The Musical Backing Largely Stays Away From Programming And Canned Beats A Natural Approach Suiting Tolno’s Similarly Earthy Pipes. Some Songs Address Hardships Of African Life That Tolno Has Experienced Or Witnessed But There’s An Ample Amount Of Danceable Arrangements To Keep Things From Wallowing.
