Senegal

Just got back from a trip to the beautiful Senegal. But enough with the bragging. Being a music fan, I was interested to find out more about the local sounds from the country.

Of course, you'll have heard of Youssou Ndour and rapper Akon. You may have even heard of Baaba Maal. But I hadn't so I was delighted to unearth this little laid back, soothing gem. Just a pity I don't understand what he's singing about! But I love the tune and when I listen to it, I close my eyes and am taken back to the gorgeous beaches I was on less than a week ago. You can hear it at:

While I was out there I bought myself a little bongo. When I've mastered how to play it properly I might even start my own band...
