Customer Reviews:

Blank CD.......2007-01-10

The CD arrived wrapped in plastic. However, there was nothing at all on the CD. It was blank. We tried it on 3 different CD players which work. There was no sound.

We decided not to send it back, just to forget it. But it's good to have a chance to let you know.

PS If you'd like to send me another with music on it, I'd be happy.

J'écoute Kaléta! .......2004-11-13

Kaléta is an outstanding blend of Zairois, pop, jazz, rock, and traditional Beninese music. It's great for dancing or just sitting back and dreaming that you're in West Africa. Kaléta will broaden your musical horizons. Overall c'est fantastique!
