i'd like to take a moment to introduce you to Ibrahima Ba, Dakar's most talented
singing kleenex salesman.

we were fortunate enough to catch one of Ibrahima's impromptu perfomances in a greasy take-out joint during one of our first weeks in town. back then everything we were seeing was freaky and it was hard to distinguish reality from larium induced hallucinations, so I may never have mentioned it to anyone.

not only did Sentoo's article reminded me about him, they also provided some recordings for your listening pleasure: Ya se got nya dazari (Tchaïkovski), J'ai perdu mon heureux disque (Gluck), L'invocation de Faust (Gounod), Le Messie (Haendel).
