Midwest Records, 10/11/17: "MICHAEL SPIRO-JOE GALVIN/Bakini: These two cats gathered a few other like minded world beat travelers to show you how the casual ear might think it all sounds the same but has enough nuance to fill an encyclopedia. A solid set for the deep and real drum enthusiast, this is more in the spirit of Nonesuch Explorer’s than it is casual world beat excursions. It’s as authentic as you can get....."
