Charismatic and tricked out mbalax from a stellar vocalist who has played with crucial Senegalese dynamo Orchestra Baobab and other well known Dakar-based ensembles. Mboup is simply one of the most incredible singers I have ever seen/heard.

Hi Brian,
thanks for this one,Assane M`Boup
is another positive example of the healing mixture of sufi and disco,like Kine Lam(I sent last year)or Ouza and of course Youssou N`Dour.

Many thanks for this!
I have actually worked with this guy in London, and he really is the most superlative vocalist. He also happens to be one of the nicest men you’re likely to meet.
Best wushes and thank you for your excellent blog!
