Mansour Seck
N'der Fouta Tooro Vol. 2
$17.99
The legendary guitarist of Dande Lenol occasionally steps out on his own, and this recording (along with Volume 1) is one of the best guitar recordings to come out of the region. Direct and untainted by technology (save for some electric bass), musician and singer Seck is joined by guitars, hoddu, kora (Kaouding Cissoko), ngoni and percussion, and the guest vocalist Ousmane Hamady Diop on this second of the series of deep roots from Senegal.

| "Seck's intensely passionate voice is held aloft by the warmly resonant guitar picking style not heard since the heyday of legendary John Bosco Mwenda in the 1950s. Here, the guitar and Seck's voice trade places; the instrument becomes the storyteller even as Seck's voice becomes the instrument. Hanging on the tail of this emerging star is the talented Mauritanian griot Ousmane Hamady Diop whose debut on both albums promise great things to come." - Opiyo Oloya, RootsWorld |

Please note!
Most of our CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and we are not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever we
can, we used recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
