opis:
The Wire
'...a fine example of urban African pop drawing from a cosmopolitan musical sensibility....[Kieta's] songs on [PAPA] are especially strong...'
Mojo (9/99, p.110) - '...a very good 'African-American' album....it is a better roots-rock album than The Corrs could ever make.'
Q (8/99, p.107) - 3 stars (out of 5) - '...the voice is as fantastic as ever...lovely melodies...'
Spin (9/99, p.197) - 8 out of 10 - '...[Kieta's] finest solo record....PAPA skews [his] Islamic declamation toward both the metallic drive of Living Colour and the harmolodic vagaries of [Vernon] Reid's...Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society....[knowing] the difference between embellishing and bedizening...'
