Djam Leelii

The Washington Post wrote: "The album's eight selections range from the entrancing 'Lamtooro' and 'Muudo Hormo', tunes that achieve the spiritual grace and calm that so much New Age music aspires to but seldom delivers, to the more percussive, rhythmically contagious 'Salminanam'." The Chicago Tribune noted that "accessible melodies suggest American folk-blues, ethereal ECM-styled jazz and even modern classical music." J. Poet of AllMusic commented that "two guitars, accented by a bit of African percussion and some tasty electric fills by Aziz Dieng, produce pure magic." The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. ==Track listing==
