Fallou Dieng - Feuk Dieuf

Photo taken on Gorée Island, Dakar

I was lucky enough to spend two weeks on holiday in Senegal just before Christmas. In the Yoff district of Dakar, a couple streets behind where the fishing boats come in on the beach, was a small shack. On either side, facing the street, were 6 foot high speakers, and in the back rack upon rack of amps, mixers and CD burners. After a café touba and some chat I came out with a fistfull of CDRs. These tunes are from Fallou Dieng's 2006 album Feuk Dieuf. Keening vocals, a light lilt and the insane rush of the Sabar.
