By the time this album would actually see worldwide release (1988); Senegalese percussionist and singer N'Dour had gained notoriety working with Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon. One of those rare, but pleasant occasions when an album not sung in English, and making no quarter to contemporary western music (other than the odd synthesizer) managed to find a wider audience.
N'Dour's strong voice and complex (almost chaotic to western ears) polyrhythms are a joy to behold.
