Blaring out from every market stall, taxi radio-cassette and record shop in every town along the trans-Gambian highway, is the music of Youssou N'Dour, Baaba Maal, Ismael Lo, Super Diamono, Toure Kunda or some kora player. The smells of perfumed incense and smoked fish mingle with the rich inflections of Youssou's voice. You stop to buy a piece of tie-dye cloth, or maybe you are waiting at Farafenni to catch the ferry across the river. ‘I like his music too much,' says a Gambian standing next to you, listening to Youssou's latest cassette, Kocc Barma. ‘I like the tama (drum) with keyboards, it makes me want to dance.' ‘That's deep Wolof,' says another; ‘He's singing for Alla Seck who died, Ndyesan (alas).' The nearby stall-owner disagrees. ‘I prefer his old tapes, like Tabaski,' he says. ‘That was sayisayi (rascal) music, that was real Wolof music, now he's too toubab (European). Now I listen to Baaba Maal.' A fourth person joins in. ‘Baaba only sings for his own people, the Tukulor: he doesn't care about anyone else.'
