Baaba Maal’s voice has a sweet vulnerability that contrasts with his compatriot Youssou N’Dour’s muezzin-like call.

His first album in seven years is a richly varied work that showcases one of the world’s most distinctive voices.

Worldbeat master Baaba Maal’s musical homecoming on Being is not myopic or static but embraces motion through space, time, and sound.

‘Being’ is the most enjoyable album Maal has released to date.

An album that uses traditional African instrumentation and state-of-the-art electronica with a boldness that is extraordinary.

This is stand-up-and-listen music, commanding attention in surprising ways. Being suggests that far from mellowing with age, Maal – who turns 70 in June – remains as eager and excited to explore new frontiers as he ever was.

Por incrível que pareça Baaba Maal tem 70 anos, e achei que era mais um artista novo já sua música transcende horizontes, veja só eu do Brasil tendo a oportunidade de ouvir esse disco o 'Being' que traz a música de seu país Senegal onde nasceu, nos apresentando uma sonoridade quue á mim nunca tinha parado para ouvir mas que achei muito poderosa e bonita.
As tradition with oldies in music, Maal pushes his his explorative range on this project that is loud and demands attention
