Real World

Youssou N'Dour and his band's live set supporting Peter Gabriel on the landmark 'So' tour, recorded in Athens in 1987 and making its long-awaited debut as an audio release. N'Dour, who'd just turned 28, was already a big star in West Africa. His voice, curling out across the auditorium showed why. High-pitched and laced with power and emotion, it drew gasps of disbelief and, just as swiftly, roars of approval. Accompanied by the riotous mbalax rhythms of his musicians, seasoned players on everything from horns, guitars and keyboards to the traditional sabar, jdembe and tama talking drum, Youssou and Le Super Etoile were undoubtedly one of Africa's greatest and most nimble bands. Youssou's charisma, multi-talents and social conscience would eventually see him acknowledged as one of the most celebrated African musicians in history. Release includes a bonus track - Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour performing 'In Your Eyes', the emotional hit single that would boost both men's international careers. This live version was previously only available on Peter Gabriel 'So' special edition boxset. For fans of Afropop, Angelique Kidjo, Baaba Mal, Amadou and Mariam, Miriam Makeba.
