1. Characterised or marked by tingling
   • "N'ba" has a soft reggae lilt, "Mali Ba" is sparsely lit, with harmonica shadings, and "N'Teri" has a more uplifting vibration, with tinglesome female backing vocals responding to Koité's lines whilst strings make sweepingly elaborate gestures. The album closes in a typically varied fashion, with "Titati", an acoustic guitar meditation. 2007, Martin Longley, Habib Koite & Bamada Afriki Review:
   • And yet, when you do shake off the sunbeam-fingers and sit up, the cool air slips over your cheek and lifts your hair with so tinglesome a touch that motion — thrilled, ecstatic, ozoneful — seems man"s natural medium of expression. 2000, John Margolies, Eric Baker, See the USA:
