“Lê is often considered to be a fusion guitarist, and the reckless abandon of his solo on the fiery “Urbi” would certainly support that thought. But while he’s capable of rapid-fire phrases and screaming bends, there’s never a sense of excess.”

It deals with the union of classical traditions (West Africa, North Indian and South India) which have little in common with the vague idea of popular music that we usually associate with the music of the Indian sitar and violin and the Malian kora.”
