Rise & Shine (Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars album)
Rise & Shine (2010) is the second album by Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, following their debut album Living Like a Refugee (2006).[1] The album was produced by Steve Berlin, renowned for his work with Los Lobos, Angélique Kidjo, Michelle Shocked, Rickie Lee Jones and Ozomatli,[2] and recorded in their hometown of Freetown, Sierra Leone and New Orleans, Louisiana.[3] Reflecting the influences of both recording locations, the album's sound is "a fusion of traditional West African music and roots reggae, inflected with New Orleans styles."[2]
