The last vocal line will be recorded tomorrow God willing and the mixing will be started. The cds will be out probably in a couple of weeks. I promise all of you that this album will be ranked among the best to ever come out of Senegambia. Hold me to my word on this.

This young girl, whose style is like Vivianne Ndure's, is complemented by the backing vocals of Jaaga Mboob, myself, the "taasu" of Daddy Mam and Modou Faal of Jamil Cham's "Tey Mu Neh". The "sabarr" and "tama" are played by Modou Faal and Pa Bahoum, a.k.a, Big Ben Joe. The artistry of Big Ben Joe is truly displayed in the musical instruments. Watch out for this album! As for the styles, I won't let too much out because I am creating a homepage which will be launched in a few days' time. Watch Out! Thanks.
