Product Description
The tama cuts a hypnotic swathe across the beat and the sabar mesmerises with its insistent, erratic ratatata-tat, tat-tat! Fallou's lyrical voice contrasts perfectly with the relentless, random polyrhythms of Medina. "Fallou Dieng and band come swarming in with instant emotion and hormone pressure on the build, tama and sabar drums clattering and pushing and a fat horn section shunting all arses into gear from the off, crackling with life and musical wit. He is the genuine article." Folk Roots Also for sale as digital download atemusic amazon uk amazon us itunes uk itunes us

Grand bou siiw, 18 Oct 2000

This review is from: Medina (Audio CD)
Gaagni, Xawma ndax grand bi dal na fii waaye woolu na "le plus grand ambianceur" dou deuggue ? Boumenee thionthiou, nguenne loxo thi kaw, bou ma ne withiaxou nguenne baraxou, bou ma ne kolere, nbguene... Kon nak, Yallah na ko fi Yallah yaggal. Amine(well in english now) This guy is that kind of singer which songs are just unbelievable. They take you from scratch to 7th sky. Any doubt ? just taste it. You want to know his second name ? "taste me, take me" :-)
(version francaise) Si vous aimez Youssou Ndour, ne manquez pas les albums de ce brave compositeur. C'est du genre a vous chauffer une salle en moins de 2 !
Alors pour le "grand ambianceur", hip-hip-hip ?

Fallou's shimmering Mbalax music coupled with his crystalline voice and echoing rhythmic texture make his CD superb to listen and dance.

Senegalese Sensation, 22 Dec 2001
By otserick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Medina (Audio CD)
This is a terrific CD designed for the international market, compiled from 4 cassettes recorded with local African audiences in mind. Dieng is one of the hottest singer/composers in Dakar whose live performances always draw huge crowds. His music is largely straight ahead, hard driving M'balax but it's very varied and highly listenable. Buy this CD and hear the sound of contemporary urban Africa in all its sophistication and complexity.
