Cheikh Lô Essentials

Cheikh Lô Essentials

The imposing dreadlocked figure of Cheikh Lo came to the international foreground in the mid-‘90s with the release of his Youssou N'Dour-produced album Ne La Thiass. With the softening sound of the Senegalese mbalax round the edges, and its adherence to a spirited, open minded sound, Lo gathered together the best world beats, Complementing Senegalese sabar and tama talking drums with Congolese rumba, Latin salsa, funky guitar and warm reggae. From atmospheric vocals to danceable pop fusion, Lo's blend is warm, inspirational and inviting.
