Youssou N’Dour’s Great African Ball
Description
He’s the most famous Afropopper to find stardom prospecting for gold in the West, though creatively speaking, his pop records pale in comparison with those employing mbalax, the Dakar, Senegal, rock style N’Dour has been refining since he invented it in the late ’70s. Some folks think that Super Etoile de Dakar, N’Dour’s guitar-and-tama-drum–driven group, is the best touring band on the planet.
