Yus, I am also way of touch when it comes to Mbalax... infact, I heard of Viviane, Falou Dieng, Lat Mbaye etc very recently... a couple of weeks ago when I drove down to seattle for the weekend. A good friend of mine in seattle - Matta - gave me a video cassette, which I've watched about a zillion times upon my return. Thanks for the Pachanga memories. Who can Pape Fall, Mame Pathe Gadiaga of Super Cayor de dakar, Pape Serigne Seck of Yaye Boye fame (yaye suma yaye boye, Bai suma bai boye, ku amut yaye nampa mame), Mapenda Seck, Abdou Fatha Dieng etc. Those were the good old days. Regards, Madiba. <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
