A sort of “best of,” showcasing the singing/songwriting talents of this Senegalese superstar. These tracks are compiled from previous CDs (most of which are in the library), and are a good introduction to his music. He’s got a great, soaring voice and delivers both lowkey (vocals & strings) traditional music and electronic tracks. *1. Relaxed and joyful blend of voices/strings. Just lovely. 2. Guitar w/almost a country sound, into a chorus. Midtempo. Cool. *3. Bright midtempo w/good use of guitar & great vocals. 4. Reggae-infused electro dance of African unity. 5. Trippy beat-driven dance w/soaring vocals. *6. Midtempo w/a dark feeling & a hint of North Africa. 7. Dark electronica into a darker spacey sound. Hold me, I’m scared. 8. Driving dance track w/a sexy Afro groove. *9. Kora, percussion, vocals. Sweet, midtempo track. 10. Uptempo Afro-funk groove w/a big sound & touch of reggae. 11. Mostly slow & simple. A warm & sweet, relaxed song. | ||
