Mambo, Reggae and African beats. Live and direct from Senegal, and back by
popular demand. ‘Jelitara Futa’ means ‘it’s
time to wake up’ and in literal terms this means get up and dance!

evening with his acoustic set. His songs address the aspirations and difficulties
of the African people as well as political and religious issues.
