Additional Information

Comments Volume 2 traces the continuing rise of Etoile de Dakar as Senegal's premier pop group. It includes Thiapa Thialy (an arabic word for public property), which became a monumental hit for Youssou, and Diokhama Say NE NE, a kind of all purpose thank you/praise song animated with some crackling drum action.
Several of these songs, such as Diandoli and Dounya recall the prime of Youssou's collaborator El Hadji Faye, who was equally popular with the women folk of Senegal. This selection shows how hoit was Etoile's fusion of "progressive" pop with the complexities of traditional Wolof rhythms.
