The multitalented El Hadj N Diaye
...Eminently soulful, artuculate, and passionate, El Hadj brings a new kind of senegalese music to the world attention. His simple guitar melodies, highlighted by a powerful and delicate voice, reflect the lives of everyday people in this homeland.
N'Diaye's name really belongs up there with his illustrious countrymen Baaba Maal and Youssou N'Dour. His first album, Thiaroye, was a Top Of The World choice in Songlines 6. His second, Xel (it means 'reason'), got a famous french awarld .
"The golden throated people's poet" : with a sinuous and thrilling voice, he can work a furious mbalax rhythm with the best of them as 'Mengo' and the title track, with its atmospheric electric guitars and cracking djembe drums, prove.
..Songs and musics.. almost impossible beauty...
Songlines, by Nigel Williamson
EL HADJ N'DIAYE and his musicians will be touring extensively in 2007.
