Youssou N'Dour - Egypt

(Nonesuch)

Youssou N'Dour's latest album is totally different to anything he has released. For this project Youssou got together with the like-minded Egyptian musician and producer Fahty Salama.

'Egypt' features the strings, flutes and percussion of an Egyptian orchestra as well as traditional musicians from Dakar and Cairo. This is Youssou N'Dour's celebration of the Senegalese way of Islam - very topical and illuminating in these times of religious intolerance. It's amazing that he recorded it 6 years ago. I think it's his best release by far.
