		Bau, which was to play the leading part in the events of the nineteenth century, was as yet relatively unimportant, her chiefs having but recently seized the island stronghold from which, in due cour5se, they dominated a large part of the Grouip.
		The rise of Bau was rapid, and was due partly to the natural ability of her chiefs, and partly to the advantages gained from the first use of firearms.
		The Bau chiefs, in describing the incident to Wilkes, cynically claimed to have given the French permission to destroy Viwa, as it was nothing, and its destruction would satisfy the foreigners; but they took care that nothing of value was lost, for they warned the Viwa people and aided their flight.

		They returned to Bau, drenched and shivering, but with shouting and the beating of drums, bringing the body of one of their enemies with them.

		Bau is an instrumentalist of great feeling, and the instrumentals that comprise Jailza are rife with the luxurious sadness associated with Portuguese fado, Spanish flamenco, and the smoldering quality of Africa’s own cultural mixes.
		The opening track, “Jailza” is a melodic demonstration of Bau’s Spanish classical guitar expertise, shuffling over some gentle maracas, while “Curti Bo Laif” allows for a demonstration of his incisive yet playful approach to the violin.
		It’s a pleasure to hear him cut loose on this joyous record, one that reflects the confidence and grace of a master of his chosen musical forms and yet is full of sweetness and gentle grace.
