Jobarteh, Dawda
I Met Her By The River
There is aquiet confidence to 'I met her by the river', Dawda Jobarteh's third album to be released by Sterns under exclusive license from Dawda.Although his technique is prodigious, it's always subservient to the song. Although there are beautiful momenets of contemplation, they are never saccharine or facile. With no loss power or slackering of intent, and while still backed by long-time friends and stalwarts Preben carlsen and Salieu Dibba, this new album is very much a solo statement.
