  1. Espoir is one of the great surprises of 2009.
  2. Espoir is an unusual release, part interesting artifact of aesthetic oddities, part field recording of a talented man with a smooth voice who knows his way around a guitar. Not the ideal introduction to Burkina Faso, but worthwhile nonetheless.
  3. If soukous and Congolese rumba sound exotic, the reality is as bland as yam quiche.
