CD ReviewsSeminal Live Mbalax album D. McDavitt | Arlington, VA United States | 12/05/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This essential recording captures Youssou & Etoile De Dakar in top form, performing unadalterated mbalax (not watered-down for Western sensibilies). Among Youssou's best 3 albums (along with Best of 80's& Rough Guide to Youssou N'Dour & Etoile De Dakar). Thrilling sabar, bubbling tama, wonderful vocal interludes by lead sabar drummer M'baye Dieye Faye, sparkling solos by guitarist Jimi Mbaye!
Very exciting, complex, polyrhythmic, propulsive, infectious- what great Afropop is all about! Solid live acoustics, nice balance, pleasing sound, strong song selections. Dance you will! Look for VHS recordings of this "Gran Bal" tour as well (imports)! Also recommended- Thione Seck & Raam Daan's "Live Aniversary"" |
