Love this from Ismael. Transporting.
I recall playing this when I DJ'd at WRUV-FM, playing "Greater Earth Vibrations" - good times. Thanks for keeping the rotation broad and deep, RadioParadise!

I can get lost in this song; if all of Senegal were like this song, I could spend eternity there.

i wonder if this man's voice was used in an Almodovar film "All About my Mother?" I'll have to look that up—-sounds so familiar unless there's a Spanish singer who sounds just like him?

This is excellent. I wondered why the rating was so low but on reflection i dont suppose this is going to get the redneck vote, beautifull music or not

interesting... guitar part reminiscent of 'Water Jet Cilice/Self-Torture' by Andrew Bird. That would be a cool song to hear here... GREAT live.

With all due respect, I think folks should go easy on Calypsus.  How many of us here are fluent in a second language?  I respect anyone trying to learn English and if you're language isn't Indo-European, it's even harder.  Anyway, I understood what Calypsus was trying to say.

I always find this a puzzling remark.  Music by nature is repetitive.

I love this singer from Senegal. I hope he's still making music; I haven't heard from him lately- anybody know of any new music from him?
A song from this cd that I love is "dibi dibi rek". In the elevators of Dakar, Senegal (both of them), in 1996, this song was on endless loop. The elevators being slow, I heard "dibi dibi rek" many times. Many many times. I should probably be annoyed by it but instead every time I hear it I'm reminded of a glorious trip to Senegal.
And every time I hear a singer from Senegal on RP, well, that makes me happy, too. Love Youssou- hey, whattabout something from Youssou's new CD (Rokku Mi Rokka, I think it's called) on RP?

my sentiments exactly...while I've never heard BAD music on RP, I certainly have heard things that did not appeal to me personally. Thanks to RP, my record collection is much richer, as is iTunes...record execs, I hope you get that last part

One of my all time favourite W. African artists along with Ali Farka Toure & Baaba Maal. Thanx for bringing this genre of music to the station.

I also thought it was N'Dour. Hate being wrong, but at least I have company!

I found out about Ismael Lo when I was living in Benin in 1995. The album "Iso" is absolutely fabulous. My favorite is Dibi dibi rek! But I love them all. They always get me back to the good times when I was in West-Africa.
