László Bese recommends the album:

“The album ‘Before’, contains fifteen new original recordings. Although the beautiful photos of the four-panel digi sleeve packaging once again praise the beauty of Sardinia, this time the recording sessions were taken in Hungary, Denmark and England.
As usual, once again the colorful arrangement plays a bouquet of songs that is perhaps even more colorful than before, in sound quality that is considered to be top-class worldwide. Through which the instrumental qualities of the virtuosos, the extra colors and moods added by the guests, and the especially progressive song structures of the authors’ compositions, which are built from diverse stylistic elements, are very well enforced.

Similar to the album “The Magic Stag” released two years ago, the performance of singer Péter Kaszás is again overwhelming. I thought a lot about what else could be written about Djabe’s music after such an oeuvre, and what could be highlighted from the new set of songs. But even after a week and a half of brooding, I couldn’t come to anything other than that the compositions of “Before” continue to bring the usual high standard, while still ignoring genre boundaries, but freely wandering between eras and genres.”
