Funky guitars, jazzy winds or even retro synths, the album imposes itself as a luminous flash on Brian Jackson, long remained in the shadow of his tumultuous collaborator, the poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron. Composed of 8 tracks, the opus is adorned with a good dose of groove which is adorned with Caribbean and African influences, especially in the title Mami Wata.
