[…] We Want You to Say... (Heads Up), the sophomore album by the jazzy world-music band Sakesho, will put a smile on your face, not only because of the bright, upbeat music, but also because the bandmembers' high spirits are practically palpable.

Lucy Tauss – JazzTimes

Sakésho's music is an eclectic combination of sophisticated jazz harmonies, French Caribben rhythms, Afro Cuban vamps, Jamaican ska, funk, Creole and beyond. For lack of a better term, call it World Beat to the highest degree.

Tomas Peña – Latin Jazz Network

Simply put - Sakésho's We want You To Say - the follow-up CD to the group's initial musical venture, is great. When you add great production, great material, great musicianship plus great chemistry, you expect a special CD. Sakésho does not disappoint. We Want You To Say is a group effort that should be view and listened to in that context. The group skillfully powers, explores, and navigates through a seamlessly woven tapestry of personal experiences. And so taking the listeners through musical episodes of musical treats from the African Caribbean Diaspora with a wicked sense of rhythm, drama and humor. Elements of ska, zouk, jazz, funk, calypso and big drum to name a few, are all present in a big way. These musicians bring a spirituality, freedom and freshness that is rarely captured in a studio setting.

When Steel Talks

It’s not clear from the title what Sakesho wants listeners to say. But from this corner, it’s a definite “Oh, yeah!” We Want You to Say... is rated GF for grooves and funk.

[...] Rythmique d’enfer, omniprésente et relance pertinente. Pour attiser notre curiosité, Jean-Philippe Fanfant aux percussions stimule, encourage le délire du pianiste Mario Canonge. Débarassé de toute référence, i touche et nous rend complice de sa musique. Andy Narell met son intelligence au service du groupe. Les lauriers sont à partager entre les quatre musiciens […]
