EVERY THING IS NOT QUITE ENOUGH
Product Description
Artist: Wasis Diop
Listen to a Wasis Diop song and you'll get a glimpse of the beating heart of African (or more specifically Senegalese) culture - its sense of community and tradition. This retrospective album highlights some of the brighter moments of the celebrated guitarist/vocalist's solo career, showcasing his unique blend of indigenous rhythms, European influence and contemporary experimentation. The album begins with a new track - "Le Passeur," which utilizes Western elements like synthesized atmosphere and keyboards alongside traditional African rhythms to craft a bittersweet, haunting melody. Other highlights include "DeFaal Lu Wor" - Diop's rendition of "Once in a Lifetime" from the Talking Heads, as well as "African Dream" and the title track, derived from the soundtrack of "The Thomas Crown Affair
