That's definitely Youssou N'Dour on background vocals. They're both from Senegal, where Youssou N'Dour is of the KING of music, AFAIK. |

| sirdroseph (Tokyo) | Posted: May 03, 2010 - 12:00 Yay! I was able to move the rating up a tenth of a point anyway! Hooray for small victories and fantastic African rhythms!!   |

| almafi | Posted: Nov 12, 2008 - 17:56 Paul Simon obviously borrowed from this style in his Rhythm of the Saints era. |

| pavlov1 | Posted: May 07, 2008 - 09:13 Not quite great but I stay keep tuned to RP for variety like this. Keep it up Bill. |
| Excelsior | Posted: May 07, 2008 - 09:12 It's the same 20 seconds of music looped over and over again. |

I concur. |

You're saying this wasn't on Lion King? Bleh. The backup singers should probably have cleared their throats before the song started. Or maybe that sound they're making is them wretching over the realization that they are participating in this crap. |

This really has been a drab last hour on RP. This song takes the cake though. Hate it. |

Thought so. He's so recognizable -- and the contrast against Cheikh Lo Lo's voice is striking. |
| iMacomania (Bavaria - Germany) | Posted: Mar 22, 2006 - 07:53 Is this the brother of Youssou N'Dour?  ...sounds all identic...
