Product Description* If Diogal's previous albums had a salty tang, it was because the breeze that caresses the coast of Senegal runs through them--faithful to the Lebou tradition, he sang of the sea. For Urban Spirit, this Senegalese musician moves a little further away from the shores of his homeland to celebrate the city and simple but essential things, such as water, solidarity, and love.
* Recently voted Best Artist of the Senegalese Diaspora at the Sunu Music Awards in Dakar.
* Influenced by Ismaël Lô, Cheikh Lô, and other African musicians as well as by Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens, and Bob Dylan.
* Features eminent guests including guitarist Eric Löhrer (Julien Lourau, Ibrahim Maalouf, Alain Chamfort) and the young prodigy Davy Honnet on drums. "The new Senegalese sensation." -- Les Inrockuptibles
