I’ve been listening to this record for over 20 years and it does not get old. #mbalax #senegal #africanmusic

Good timezone fediverse,
Today's song is On l'a fait by Youssou N'DourYoussou N'Dour is a singer, percussionist and occasional actor. He's one of the most celebrated African musicians and his mix of traditional Senegalese mbalax with influences ranging from rumba to hip hop, jazz, and soul.
He's to the best of my knowledge the first artist from Africa I listened due to his song 7 Seconds with Neneh Cherry from 2004.
