Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This is the album that first brought N'Dour international attention and it's easy to see why. Apart from the gorgeous title track, his prayer for (and plea to) his Senegalese countrymen abroad, there is plenty of his arresting mbalax rhythms here, marvellously danceable with the tama drum working across the juddering beat. But it's that inimitable, eerily high voice that shines throughout. After hearing this disc, Peter Gabriel became N'Dour's mentor, helping to launch him to global fame. But in many ways this remains far more rootsy and satisfying than much of the work N'Dour's done since; it's made for his native market without compromise. There is a true earthiness to a track like "Taaw", with its excellent guitar work by Jimmy Mbaye, and throughout N'Dour's band Super Etoile really get to stretch out. A seminal piece of N'Dour. --Chris Nickson

5.0 out of 5 stars A Senegalese Anthem, 8 Jun 2004
This is the music that originally earnt Youssou N'Dour international attention & celebrity. Many of his admirers, myself included, see this as his golden period before he attracted Peter Gabriel's attention & influence. I can still remember going to Senegalese student/immigrant parties in France, in the 1980's, & the highlight of those nights was always when the title track of this album was played, the dancing became even more superb, & the emotion of those "Immigres" was palpable. Senegal has long been respected for her musical heritage & this album was a landmark in it.
