From Senegal. Lyrics in French and Wolof, mostly strong comments on problems facing contemporary Africa (AIDS, urbanization, etc.) It’s a very quiet album, usually just a guitar, light percussion, and a voice. The voice is rough, full of emotion, and quite compelling. *1. Relaxed guitar, nice vocals. Simple but powerful. 2. Mid-tempo w/acousic & electric guitar & perc. 3. N’diaye on vox & guitar, slower w/a lovely sadness. *4. Mid-tempo w/soaring vocals. 5. Slower, w/a sense of tragedy. 6. Mid-tempo song of cultural identity. *7. Quiet, on the hopeless life of the street vendors. *8. Pretty melody, vocal harmonies. A love song. 9. Slow, quiet, and sad. 10. Elec. guitar, big vocals, mid-tempo. 11. Mid-tempo vox/guitars/perc. *12. Easy melody w/strong vocals. Sad | ||
