The hypnotic, delicate strum of the kora, the harp-like instrument strung on a halved gourd, has been a trademark of West African music for centuries. Gambian Griot Kora Duets (1979), featuring the master player Alhaji Bai Konte and his equally influential son Dembo Konte and Ma Lamini Jobate, is a remarkable recording that documents an evolution in the kora's use in the traditional music of the Gambia. The album, made in Dembo and Alhjai Bai Konte's living space, shows the musicians incorporating complex, polyrhythmic arrangements. Though these musicians are intrinsically linked to the Jali tradition of griot families in West Africa, in which kora players are the historians and record keepers of local cultures, these recordings, with their stylistic flourishes, marked a new beginning for international interest in the kora. Dembo Konte went on to tour internationally, performing on John Peel's legendary BBC program in 1989 and collaborating with the influential group Mustaphas 3. This reissue is part of Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series, bringing to light gems from the extensive collection and revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums released by the label. This album is being released alongside other international classics Tuareg Music of the Southern Sahara and Calypso Travels by Lord Invader.

Works better than any of the others I've tried!!
Size: 1.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Not the greatest tasting but works so great that taste is irrelevant! Actually tastes like cinnamon not mint which is A OK with me! It is the best working and longest lasting of several I've tried. Finally! My search for something that works is over!

Taste is Weak Mint
Size: 1.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I tried another brand and liked it better. It was more minty than this one. It has a mild aftertaste. I can't tell one works that much better than the other. But it was at least something to spray in my dry mouth, so it worked.

Most cost effective product
Size: 1.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I have an issue with my mouth going dry due to CPAP use. This spray is better priced than other sprays but, not quite as refreshing. Due to the cost savings, I will continue to order this product.
