Good timezone fediverse,
Today's song is On l'a fait by Youssou N'Dour
Youssou N'Dour is a singer, percussionist and occasional actor. He's one of the most celebrated African musicians and his mix of traditional Senegalese mbalax with influences ranging from rumba to hip hop, jazz, and soul.
He's to the best of my knowledge the first artist from Africa I listened due to his song 7 Seconds with Neneh Cherry from 2004.

It takes almost 50 seconds of build-up, but it sure is an intriguing enough intro, followed by some very powerful rhythm and a unique mix of soul, jazz, Mbalax, and Afrobeats.
Quite the unique video, too.
