Is this the African version of "I got you babe"???
sounds like it.
  

Uhh, right church, wrong pew.  Glad you're not playing Name That Tune on my team. That particular Dylan nor Sonny and Cher it ain't. 


We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. 


I think Youssou can rightly sing a Dylan piece of universal significance (mostly) in his own language.

That should usually be a good thing - not always, though.

I thought Bill said that the music was from "You Shall Endure."  After clicking submit, I'm hitting PSD cuz I'd rather not endure this.  

Just not an Afro-pop fan.

Oh yes, some good tunes from Africa. Another of my favorites is Wasis Diop, who actually only put out 1 good album, but what an album.

This is really inspiring and uplifting music. A breath of fresh air in a oil soaked, stale world. Thanks.

Youssou N'dour - "Immigrés/Bitim Rew" Live
"This song is off the Immigres album.. I am luck to have seen Youssou when he toured with Peter Gabriel in the late 1980's.. Really opened my eyes to music outside of the contemporary rock I was listening to.. I have the Immigres album (cd).. and Love it.. "

"I got the opportunity to see Youssou a few months back at the BAM in Brooklyn, NY in the US. I was not a fan until I saw his performance. It was truly amazing! "

So where the hell's the cute children's choir ? More reverb. And what about some actual chimes ?
 
Yah, it's a bit precious (with apologies to Zimmerman).
