Youssou N'Dour's Joko is a MUST Has anyone heard the glorious album by Youssou N'Dour called "Joko"? It came out a few years ago, and it's really worth checking out...especially the import version if you can find it. 4 those who don't know, Youssou N'Dour is an artist from Senegal, West Africa who pretty much pioneered a new style of music called Mbalax. His music is VERY rhythmic and soulful, and he has THE BEST VOICE IN THE WORLD. Youssou's a giant superstar worldwide, and I think he had a few hits in the US with "Shaking the Tree" and "7 Seconds" with Nenah Cherry. Check him out.... Occupy Alphabet Street!

He is one of my favorite African artists. I became familiar w/him after Youssou did dueted with Peter Gabriel in the song In Your Eyes. I have a vast collection of all his albums. I would recommend his CD's to anyone who truly loves great vocals and wonderful music. | |

I love "7 seconds". I thought I had another. I didn't like it as much. I found the files somewhere and meant to follow up. Never got around to it. Perhaps I'll pick the CD up.Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |

I don't recall him doing another duet w/Neneh. | |

He's also got a bangin' new DVD out of his annual concert in Paris. I've seen him in concert many times, and it's a treat. On this DVD he sings with Rokia Traore from Mali, West Africa. Occupy Alphabet Street!

Wow, I got to check this DVD out. I got a chance to see him live in Toronto. I wanted to catch him this pass summer in DC but I was exhausted from P's concert. | |

Youssou is the Man! I have his albums Eyes Open, The Lion and Immigres, and I love the work he's done with Ryuichi Sakamoto (songs like Borom Gal), and Peter Gabriel I'll have to check out Joko...
