Review by Alexandr Nesterenko

Djigui, the collaborative album by Pierre Van Dormael, Soriba Kouyate, and Otti Van der Werf, is a mesmerizing blend of jazz and West African music. The album features eight tracks that showcase the trio's exceptional musicianship and ability to seamlessly fuse different genres.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Djigui," which features a hypnotic guitar riff by Van Dormael and Kouyate's soulful vocals in the Manding language. The track builds up gradually, with Van der Werf's rhythmic bass adding depth and intensity to the composition.

Another highlight is "N'tana," a smooth jazz-infused track with a catchy melody and intricate guitar solos by Van Dormael. Kouyate's vocals add a touch of authenticity to the track, making it a standout on the album.
