Assane Ndiaye spent many years singing backup to
Thione Seck. He has a voice which someone in Banjul
described to me, with perfect accuracy, as "divine".
If you think Thione has a good voice, Assane kills him
stone dead. His latest albums were Bagnal, a studio
album, and Takussanou Ndakarou, another TV concert
double K7. Assane sings in a slightly more traditional
manner than Thione, and his subject matter is more
religious than political. There is at least one CD out
in France, of his second album, Yone Wi, which is
very good indeed, and has a couple of bonus tracks
from the live album on it - AM
Allan recommends cdmail as a source.
