In Senegal, Thiossane is a respected musician, composer, dramatist, and artist whose songs were sung since the 1950s, yet he never issued an album until this. As many senior singers, his voice is hardly prime, but he sings with spirit, and supporting him are 14 excellent West African instrumentalists, including those from the bands Orchestra Baobab, Xalam, and Africando. The music is Afro-Cuban son blended with traditional and contemporary Senegese dance beats, well-arranged by François Bréant. Thiossane grew up listening to Septeto Habanero and Harry Belafonte and brought these and other music styles into his work. Coupled to these rhythms and harmonies are lyrics that honor tradition, mythology, and important individuals. Summaries of the tunes are provided in the insert, along with photographs of his art. If you enjoy Orchestra Baobab, then this somewhat more relaxed Afro-Cuban amalgamation should likewise be appreciated. This music is splendid. The 74-year old's own debut recording is a happy discovery.
Ablaye Thiossane N'Diaye - Thiossane (2011)
Now in his mid-70s, Ablaye Ndiaye Thiossane is one of the great veterans of the Senegalese music scene, and yet this is his debut solo album. He first became famous across West Africa back in the 60s, when he was championed by his country's then-president, Léopold Senghor, and his song Talene Lamp Yi (re-recorded for this set) was chosen as the theme for the 1966 Arts Nègres festival in Dakar, where Thiossane impressed Duke Ellington. Later he sang with the magnificent Orchestra Baobab and enjoyed a successful career as a painter. Now he has returned to music with help from the celebrated African producer Ibrahim Sylla, who has brought in a celebrity cast to provide the backing. The band includes the great Congolese guitarist Papa Noel, along with Orchestra Baobab's sax player Thierno Kouaté, and five singers, including three current or former members of Baobab. The result is a set that often echoes Baobab's charming and lilting Afro-Cuban style, but is still a showcase for Thiossane. His voice has clearly lost some of its power, but he is on fine form in the gently sturdy Lat Dior and the stately then upbeat Laye Woyena Laye.
