Newest Album from Itadi K. Bonney and BAKULA: "Let's
Dance"
Mark Jenkins, the Washington Post [Friday, May 21, 1999; Page N34], notes: "Bonney's 'Bakula (Let's Dance)' features West African pop's customary elements: jaunty rhythms, chiming, finger-picked guitar and exuberant call-and-response vocals." He continues: " Most of these 10 songs ... are ... infectious ... joyous" and "...such tunes as "Nadeke Ma Hia Wo O" ("You Shall Not Want") and "Aga Mimi" ("Poverty Is a Pain") are as fluid and upbeat as a protest song can be."
