Review by Joshua Miller

Bassa Bassa's self-titled debut album is a vibrant and eclectic collection of Afro-Caribbean music that showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and infectious energy. From the opening track "Yo Quiero Bailar" to the closing number "Bassa Bassa," the album is a lively celebration of rhythm and melody.

The band's signature sound is a fusion of African and Latin American styles, such as soukous, rumba, salsa, and reggae, which are seamlessly blended to create a unique and dynamic musical experience. The instrumentation is rich and varied, featuring guitars, bass, drums, percussion, horns, and vocals, all of which are expertly played and arranged.

One of the standout tracks is "Mambo Inn," a lively and upbeat salsa number that showcases the band's tight rhythm section and impressive horn arrangements. Another highlight is "N'te Ko," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that features the soulful vocals of lead singer Ousmane Seye.
