Reunions rarely rival history. But with this collection of burbling grooves, these Senegalese legends recapture the Afro-Cuban bliss of their 1982 classic, Pirates Choice — imagine the Buena Vista Social Club weaned on motherland polyrhythms. The secret weapon remains Barthélemy Attisso, a guitar giant with a touch as delicate and melodically sublime as Jerry Garcia's. His lines on "Nijaay" and "Cabral" are so chill they'll buckle your knees.
