I just found out about Youssou N'Dour. I'm in love. I read a review of his new album, "Egypt" in Entertainment Weekly. It sounded good but I couldn't find it anywhere locally. I'm not surprised. He is from Senegal. EGYPT is about Islam. There's not probably a big demand in the American Mid-West.
The local library did have a copy of a previous CD NOTHING'S IN VAIN. I love it. Right now I'm listening to excerpts of EGYPT that I found through his website www.youssou.com. Since I'm back in the real world I don't have high-speed internet access anymore so it's a slow process. From the samples I think I like NOTHING'S IN VAIN more than EGYPT but it may just be the bad connection.
