This bunch of African kiddywinkers first made it onto record by singing on Michael W. Smith's hit album 'Go West Young Man'. Presumably the exposure helped them land a deal and this resulting album is a pleasant enough listening experience. Some of the material is over-familiar ("Highway To Heaven", "Amazing Grace") while the most effective songs are the traditional "Kuna Milima Na Mabonde" and "Bwana Ametoa (Give Him A Gift)". An album with a lot of charm.
