Upon hearing the first licks, I was transported to a radio booth a long time ago when I was DJ Zhaebro at WRUV in Burlington, Vermont. I used to play Ismael Lo on my show "Greater Earth Vibrations" - those were some good old days. Thanks for playing this stuff, Bill!

This will always make me think about the scene in Almodovar's 'Todo sobre mi madre' (All About My Mother) and get goosebumps. Just a beautiful song.

This song made me do an auditory double take — in a good way. I'm hearing some nice world music, and then there's this harmonica, which I did not see coming, but fits perfectly into the song.

"Ismael Lo, born in 1960, is the son of a Senegalese civil servant who loved American soul music. Lo grew up listening to stars like James Brown, Wicked Wilson Pickett, and Otis Redding. Lo built his first guitar from a cooking oil can, and learned to play harmonica and guitar together by nailing his harmonica to the wall. Lo was a guitarist for Super Diamano, a mbalax blues band, for five years before leaving to start his own solo career. Lo is often called the "Bob Dylan of Senegal" because of his guitar and harmonica combination coupled with his deeply satisfying lyrics. As Lo himself says: "I speak of racism, poverty, famine, and the relationships among people" " The African Music Encyclopedia |

This guy has become my favourite African artist over the last few years. So wonderful that RP is taking him to other obviously grateful listeners. Thanks D&R

Thank you for playing this, It's been far too long since the last time I've heard it! Anyone heard any of his other stuff??
Heard this song was from the film "All About My Mother" which is supposed to be fantastic. Still haven't managed to catch it, though.
