Praise for Mèdaho:
“an absolutely outrageous combination of Brooklyn and West Africa that's ready to burn down the house” - Popmatters
“Best Albums of Summer 2019” - Bandcamp
“Mèdaho is absolutely a must” - Jambase
“Super Yamba boast a monstrous horn section, sinuous keyboards, and Kaleta’s spacious rhythm-guitar lines and wah-wah snarls… Kaleta knows a thing or two about lifting listeners’ spirits. He’s as charismatic a frontman as Afropop has at the moment, and, like both of his famous former bandleaders, a presence to be reckoned with.” - Bandcamp
“...explosive, unabashed” - Jazziz
"...rock solid rhythm section that will get audiences moving while Kaleta's striking vocals careen over the top of the mix.” - Earmilk
“psychedelic twist on familiar afrofunk grooves and sounds.” - Hypebeast
"think Fela and the stuff featured on Strut’s Funky Lagos comp." - The Vinyl District
