      • Comments:
        • The sleeve notes for release 1 credit Bassekou Kouyate with both ngoni and ngoni ba - so I must assume they are different, but I do not know how.
        • Should be broken down into: N'goni, Kamale N'goni and Donso N'goni.
          • Could we please get these added (as three instruments)? These are very common instruments in West Africa.
