Immigrés / Bitim Rew

Immigrés / Bitim Rew (1984) by Youssou N’Dour & Le Super Étoile is a Mbalax record that blends traditional Senegalese sabar percussion and Wolof vocal phrases with electric guitars, keyboards, and layered percussion. The album features N’Dour's incisive lead vocals and call-and-response backing parts over driving, dance-oriented arrangements, illustrating the energetic, modernizing approach his band pursued in the early 1980s.
