This is a conjunction between Kirsten Bråten Berg, a Norwegian singer and musician and two African musicians, Solo Cissokho, Kouame Sereba, and another Norwegian musician, Jørgulv Straume—a conjunction of both African and Norwegian traditional songs. This is an interesting conjunction of cultures. World music fans will find much to like here. (Neile)
