MME's Jam of the Day
Youssou N'Dour has a voice that really penetrates to your core. I've written about this amazing Senegalese artist on a previous post, but this particular cut, "Hope", was not included in the playlist I created at the time. I don't understand what he is saying in the song, but judging from the title and his emotive vocal delivery, you can sense its positive vibe. It was taken from one of my favorite Youssou N'Dour albums, "Eyes Open"which has a number of timeless compositions on it. Check out the award-winning documentary, "Return to Goree" which is a travelogue of Youssou's global tour to study jazz music and its place in the African diaspora.
