LABOUR w/ Ya Cheikh

Continuing from the energy of last month’s show, this month features the great senegalese singer Ya Cheikh with two excellent albums from the early nineties: ‘CFA’ from 1990 featuring previous guest Bada Seck on sabar — including some replays from last months here contextualised within the full original album — and ‘Nuyoo’ from 1992 featuring previous guest El-Hadji Faye on sabar and djembe. In between albums is El-Hadji Faye’s own praise to Cheikh Ibra Fall, and closing the show are two fresh tracks from Dakar’s hottest: Wally B. Seck’s ‘Why Not’ released last week, and Aida Samb’s ‘Djirim’ dropped on Wednesday.
