Youssou N’Dour et le Super Étoile
Gaïndé
Saprom 1988

Youssou N'Dour, front, cd size

This casette is from 1988, a little jump through time today
with Youssou N”Dour et le Super Etoile de Dakar.
Number 14 out of 16 African casettes. Although the sound gets less
and less traditional and English phrases start blending in, I think
Youssou’s singing is outstanding on this tape. I love the way he bends
those high notes, what a great voice.

tracks;

1 Gaïndé
2 Bamako
3 Mol
4 Hey you
5 Fenene
6 Mercy

    Yo moos,
    Thanks a lot for all the vinyl you’ve posted and see you’re going into African K7’s. If you’re interested I have some Youssou myself (Xippi vol.1+2, which became after some remixing(?) the Eyes Open album). Haven’t got a clue (yet) how to digitize those, but can ask a friend here in Budapest.
    Anyway, thanks an incredible lot for all the great music you’ve posted.
    Hear Ya, read Ya, Frans

    In the album Lion, Y Ndour songs were fantastic, but it is quite sticky so overproduction.

    In this tape instead is a pleasure to hear the sound of a serene African production of 1989,this is the same that we can enjoy a little more rolled, in the DVD of the Etoile Live at Montreux 1989.

    Thank ¡ you ¡
