author: Barchue Anthony TeahGood Job!
SUper !!!
author: Mamadou M'BamboulaM'boté !!!!! I love Jake D's songs because they sounds like Congolian traditional music. I am from deep in the heart of this amazing country and when I listen to "Banjay", I remember the music played by our wizard in our village . We danced until the dawn. After we left to hunt the Gazelle. But why are you talking about Cote d'Ivoire if you are from Liberia ? Could you translate to me in english the lyrics of "Banjay" when Jake pronouce "Banjay yo banjay kouwa " Moreover, I wonder what means "aka cote d ivoire aka abidja aka cote d ivoire aka yamoussouko ! Thanx to the WONDERFUL and AWESOME JAKE D !!!!!!!!!!!
I love your cd and I've been listing to it from back home.
author: Lawrence JlakaI am a liberian who just want to take this time to thank our brothers and sisters who give us good music in our own traditional way. May God bless our country and deliver us from all that is evil.

author: Lim LydeenI been hearing about this webiste when Visited my Aunt in Minnesota. This CD is so great that it has no CD that I can compare with 26C except, the one I heard on this same website, Naser Who Wee. I'm an Asian, even though I don't understand it, but it souds so great. Thanks for the hard work.
The CD from Liberia (Banjay) is a hidden treasure in a sea of one bass line
author: Thomas BankarlyI am an African music lover from Mali. I have never heard any music from Liberia before listening to Banjay and the others on the Kinzo Music Works' website. What a present surprise! This Liberian CD is definitely a hidden treasure in a sea of many African music with one bass line now-a-days. This CD sounds very original, and the groove lines will most certainly command ones share of time and space on the dance floor. Keep up the good work.
