Youssou N'Dour is the global voice of Senegal — the griot-descended tenor who turned mbalax, the sabar-drum dance music of Dakar, into an international Afro-pop force (and topped charts worldwide with «7 Seconds»). His sound is a whirl of interlocking talking-drum polyrhythms, bright guitars and his soaring, melismatic voice. The prompt captures it: fast sabar/tama polyrhythms, Afro-pop sheen and a joyous, celebratory groove.
