While no new Youssou N’ Dour album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 2004 tour in Europe. Thom Yorke has compared writing for Youssou N’ Dour’s new album to that on ‘Egypt’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This album has some very good songs like Touba - Daru Salaam and Cheikh Ibra Fall. Unappreciated gift to Ethnic
Cheikh Ibra Fall - arguably the best track on Egypt album. Bamba The Poet one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Baay Niasse - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Lyrics of Tijaniyya are precise and evocative. The song feels complete. Shukran Bamba gives good insight into the truths. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing.
