Youssou N'Dour is a singer from Senegal and is a big star all over Africa. This single "7 Seconds" made him a worldwide star in 1994. It is a duet with Nenah Cherry and it was included on her album 'Man' in 1996 and that is where I eventually got it from. It isn't a bad album at all... we still play a few songs from 'Man' on Bitter FM. "7 Seconds" is sung in three languages... Wolof, the Senegalese language, French and English. World music had finally gained a worldwide audience.
