From Senegal
Combining protest and traditional songs, El Hadj NDiaye is an emotive and truly lyrical singer. With family roots from Casamance in the south of Senegal as well as from the Matam in the North, NDiaye bears all of Senegal in his blood. Intertwining metaphors and proverbs of oral Senegalese literature together with issues of contemporary African society, NDiaye creates a musical language of the heart; and his voice is sublime.May 2001
