Chris Nickson of AllMusic called the album's songs "delicious creations, lulling, melodic, and even catchy to Western ears, especially 'Karam', with its memorable chorus, and 'Banhané'", and that "although not startling or revolutionary, Karam is a lovely addition to the canon of African music, and the wider introduction of an excellent talent."[3] Philip Van Vleck of Billboard called Karam "a quiet tour de force" and praised Djabate's musicianship, songwriting and vocals.[1] Deanna Sole of PopMatters stated that Djabate "sings like a neighborhood storyteller who just happens to have a good voice, inserting himself into the music with a piece of spoken word, an exclamation, and a laugh – little things, human, eccentric things – that light up the moderate background of balafon (an African xylophone) and guitar".[2]

gollark: Yes, it's that.
gollark: The problem is that the pastebin program in 1.7.10 isn't compatible with pastebin.com any more.
gollark: Because they are demons from the pits of heck.
gollark: I tried:- looking at the "network" section in browser debug tools - nothing for the websocket appears- running it through mitmproxy - no request appears for the websocket thingy- capturing it with wireshark with TLS decryption on - inconclusive, I can't really figure out how to work that properly
gollark: Anyone know why all my websocket stuff goes "can't establish a connection to the server wss://whatever" in firefox? Specifically websocket stuff on my server, other things appear to work fine. It works in chromium or wscat, and the individual applications work fine in firefox if they're not behind my reverse proxy.
