acclaim for Footsteps to Ghana

"This earthy, sophisticated, soulful, must-be-moved-to CD shows there are other ways besides band and choir for a group of young people to experience the discipline and delirium of making music."
- Canadian composer and poet Stephen Hatfield

"Fusing their own creativity with the influence of West Africa, Baobab provides the spirit and energy that music deserves..."
- Larry Graves, Courong Fayo Drum and Dance Troupe, Ottawa

"Thanks for the CD, which I have listened to and enjoyed. Great job."
- David Locke, ethnomusicologist and Chair of Music at Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts USA

"The CD is a great resource for me and for the members of Sogo. I've already played one piece for them at rehearsal. The quality is very impressive. You can hear all of the parts and the voices very clearly. This is very helpful when trying to figure out how the parts fit together. I am also impressed with the vocal quality of the children's and adult's voices on the recording. It provides what I believe is a healthy, and (to my knowledge) authentic vocal sound. And, academics aside, it is just entertaining to listen to. When I have it playing in my room at school, people always stop by to see what it is. By the way, I think I heard that last track in a dance club a few weeks ago. Has it hit the charts yet?"
- Lou Persic, Director, Sogo African Rhythm Ensemble, Maryland, USA
