Mansour Seck - Yelayo 1997 Baaba Maal & Mansour Seck got you addicted? A mind is a terrible thing not to alter. Inhale this one and enjoy :) Brought to you by TQMP The Quality Music Project While he is best known for his partnership with Senegalese superstar Baaba Maal, Mansour Seck has quietly built a small but impressive catalog of his own recordings, emphasizing tradition and the guitar. The 1997 recording Yelayo is his most fulfilled work. One gets the impression that Seck is the man who continually brings Maal back to his roots as he wanders through a pop-electronic landscape, and this album shows how deep Seck's roots are. Two guitars (Mansour Seck and Abdoulaziz Seck), hoddu (a tense-sounding three-string lute played here by Demba Dia), kora (Noumoukunda Cissoko), percussion (Bada Seck), and electric bass (PathÐ¹ Jassi) form the ensemble in a dry, distinctive whole where each instrument stands out clearly. Seck is not a great singer in the pop sense, but he is a singer of sincerity and warmth, and these songs are well conveyed by his voice. Unlike his flashy work with Maal's band, here he presents his music in subtle, understated ways that evoke passion, depth, and grace without pyrotechnics or pop. -- amazon.com I think Mansour Seck is now past the point where we always have to identify him by his famous affiliations and friendships. On Yelayo, his third album under his own name, Seck is firmly established as a master musician in his own right. After a tour of his own through Europe, Seck and his band settled into Studio 2000 in Dakar and recorded this remarkable ensemble work. In addition to his signature guitar work and his gritty, deeply rooted vocals, he is joined by Demba Dia on hoddu (a thick-sounding lute-like instrument), Noumoukunda Cissoko on kora, Bada Seck on percussion, second guitarist Abdoulaziz Seck and PathÐ¹ Jassi on bass (the only concession to the electric cord on the album) and the chorus of Ozabel Gonzales and Cathy Renoir. Their long tour together welded them into a formidable ensemble that makes this his most fully realized sound to date. Unlike his more famous Senegalese compatriots, Mansour Seck uses the basics of his Fouta heritage and expands but never loses them. There is no bow to technology for its own sake, no need to prove his mastery of the music in pyrotechnic flashes. His music moves slowly, gathering speed where it must, but always staying close to the ground, unrooted and willing to explore but never willing to change course. His songs honor the past, praise his brothers and sisters for their hard work, exhort his brethren to not only remember their past but to choose their future wisely. While Youssou N'Dour and Baaba Maal shout from the mountain top of the world stage, Mansour Seck is more like a wandering minstrel, the true griot who meets his people one at a time and tells them the stories they need to hear, if they will listen. -- rootsworld.com Tracks 01- Yelayo 02- Dona Bamba 03- Thiaroye 04- Africa 05- Rewbe Fouta 06- Mbenyu 07- Yango 08- Ndiatigue 09- Kareli 10- Poolel 11- Sanu 12- Tedoungal Artwork, EAC log and CUE sheet included Format: FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) http://flac.sourceforge.net/index.html Enjoy, seed and inhale!
