• aged 74, today Ablaye Ndiaye Thiossane is part of the very fabric of Senegalese national identity, yet this is his first album recorded and released as lead artist

• as lead singer for Orchestra Baobab he has been a tireless pioneer of Afro-Cuban music in West Africa and the album includes key members of Africando, Laba Sosseh's Super International Band, Orchestra Baobab and many more

• self-taught as a singer, playwright and painter (his paintings have sold at record-breaking prices to collectors worldwide) he first achieved pan-African fame when his song “Talene Lampe Yi” was selected as the radio theme for the “Festival des Arts Nègres” held in Dakar 1966

• released in France to great acclaim, this long-overdue album is produced by Ibrahim Sylla with arrangements by François Bréant, famed for his sensitive and ground-breaking work on, among others, Thionne Seck's 'Orientissimo' and Salif Keita's 'Soro'
