Diabate_symmetric_lgThe List magazine out of Scotland gives Toumani Diabate's The Mande Variations four stars, finding the album "absolutely beautiful." The List's Florence Thompson calls Toumani "one of those great Malian musicians that cannot be knocked." She first refers back to his previous record, Boulevard de l’Independence, made with his Symmetric Orchestra, praising it as "perhaps the most exhilarating, individual album to ever emerge from Africa this decade," and sees the new record as a great showcase for the "introspective side to the incredible musician's skills."

To pre-order The Mande Variations now, visit the Nonesuch Store. Its official release date is February 26.
