The two acoustic guitars of Baaba Maal and Mansour Seck play off each other, while Baaba Maal's voice soars above. Recorded by Baaba Maal and Seck in Paris as they found the sound which has entranced audiences worldwide.]]>N'der Fouta Toro, Vol. 1http://mansourseck.afropopshop.org/#album_277612005-04-12T10:55:32ZMusic from N'der Fouta Toro, Vol. 1Dust and dry wood - one minute parched, desolate, empty, the next peopled with improbable vocal harmonies and generous layers of kora and ngoni, the music of Mansour Seck reaps the maximum effect from its slow-building dramas. Voices, harsh and gentle, slice through the air like blades or breathe laments, supported by the sensitive atmospheric fingertips of Seck. Insistent guitar rhythms sneak up from behind, winding up into a full-blown hypnotic groove - the perfect setting for three exceptional voices - Mansour Seck, Baaba Maal and Ousmane Hamady Diop.
