Originally from Mauritania, now in Paris, he combines both in a CD that features his warm, smooth, soaring vocals (rooted in African folk) with a hip, but relaxed, European indie rock groove. He also plays a mean guitar. The music is joyful and hopeful, without being sappy and predictable. He wrote all the songs and plays all the instruments on this release…some people get all the talent.
