Message From Home is rooted in, but not exclusively devoted to, African idioms, as the overpowering hip-hop groove of \"Our Roots (Began In Africa)\" points out. But the record really develops into something special when Sanders pits his mighty tenor sound against the pan-African beats, like the ecstatically joyful rhythms of \"Tomoki\" and the poised, percolating fusion of American country \u0026amp; western drums and Nigerian juju guitar riffs on \"Country Mile.\" In addition, \"Nozipho\" is a concentrated dose of the old Pharoah, heavily spiritual and painfully passionate, with a generous supply of the tenor player's famous screeching rhetoric, and kora virtuoso Foday Musa Suso shows up on \"Kumba\" with a touch of village Gambian music. This resurrection will quicken the pulse of many an old Pharoah fan. ~ Richard S.
