Powerfull, a small lady w/such a presence on stage! Her voice can give you chills!




Last summer Senegal celebrated Senghor through expos!!

I'm so proud and happy that all these different artists are involved in this project celebrating the birth of our beloved poet-president Leopold Sedar Senghor.

This celebration took place in December 2006 at the Univesity Cheikh Anta Diop, w/such artists as Yande Codou Sene, the Senegalese rap artist Awadi and a reknown choir.
It centered around slavery and its abolition...

The French President Jaques Chirac has also invited the artists to come to France from may -june 2007.

I salute this great iniative; it's a way to educate the minds of French cittizens who seem to be so anti-immigrants ....Hopefully they'll get 2 see that they share w/us a
HISTORY THAT THEY CAN'T DENY!!
IT'S TOO EASY TO SAY WE DON' T WANT ARABS, MUSLIMS, BLACK in our country
YOU CAME ONCE IN OUR WORLD USING VIOLENCE ACCEPT THAT WE ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR COLONISATION....!!


Djaa les Senegalais n'oublieront jamais LEOPOLD S.SENGHOR:)
Eyee Wayee:)
