Order this CD

This CD is the result of the cooperation of Malick, Mbagnick Gaye and myself. Mbagnick had replaced me as musical director of the band during my absence and made most of the pre-arrangements for this CD. When I came back in the group I re-introduced some of my ideas and we tried to blend everything together. So, most of the songs reflect this blend. Some are almost entirely Mbagnick's (Africa 2000, Thierno, Baydi Kacce) and two are my arrangements (Waaju and Lenyolam).

On this second CD we tried to improve the musical quality of the first. The percussions, which were feeble in Danniyanke were played on Diariyata by Mafall Sene, an excellent sabar player or David Weemaels who played also live drums. Sax player Karim Weemaels played some very good lead and brought some new horn arrangements which I completed.

For the backup vocals we used a collection of african singers, most of them being Senegalese.

We proposed the recordings to a lot of labels but without getting any answer. Palm Pictures didn't show interest anymore and the others were apparently too busy. So I decided to release the CD in a limited edition on my own company and look afterwards for distributors. As of today I am still searching !

The full CD is however downloadable on this site.
