"Set" (CD review)

Youssou N'Dour, 1990.

This album burst forth after N'Dour's watershed with Peter Gabriel, Montreux, Womad, etc.
The musicianship is phenomenal, featuring the Super Etoile de Dakar.
Talking drums for Africa (doh!).
Some songs with political message.
An underlying, positive, redemptive energy that moves you in every way!
10/10

    Gerald - I admire you so much - you are an inspirational role model music teacher/human being/ musician. Love and be loved - love is everything.
