¡Youssou N'Dour
Description
[Machine Translation] A highly controversial work released on Spike's label, with a strong message and full of maturity! Released in 1992. Impressed by Spike Lee's statement the previous summer that he was committed to "expanding the legacy of great African American music," Yssou signed with Spike's label. The resulting album is entirely new, with the exception of "Africa Remembers. Most of the songs are titled in English, perhaps with the Western market in mind, but the content is an ambitious work that blends the various musical styles that have been cultivated up to this point, while incorporating a hip-hop sensibility in some parts. The album is a unique world of pop sophistication and beauty without sacrificing tradition. Lyrics: Bilingual translation included.
