As I've said before on here my exposure to reggae is very limited. My exposure to world music is even less and so this album, which is a reggae effort from one of the top African pop musicians of the past 20 years, is completely out of my knowledgeable zone.
That being said this is a fun album. There are some great hooks on this album and the mood and feel is uplifting and insightful. I know nothing about Youssou N'Dour, but this album makes me interested to hear more of his stuff.
If you want to get a comfortable exposure to world music and experiment with some different reggae then give this a listen.
Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 2 out of 5 stars for Not Bad.
Hooray for Youssou N'Dour.
