1	Set (1990) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour The title tune became the anthem of Senegalese youth in 1990. This is the first album N'Dour hasn't re-recorded for the international market. It's very African and his best recorded work to date. J. Poet, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.79! new only from $10.79!
2	Egypt (2004) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour Youssou N'Dour's Egypt is a radical change of pace for the Senegalese singer/songwriter. Throughout his career, N'Dour has adapted his indigenous musical heritage to the pop sounds of world music. On Egypt, N'Dour and his quartet have created rhythmic and melodic arrangements for material from the Arabic world. Joining N'Dour's quartet for this ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $16.23!
3	Rokku Mi Rokka (2007) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour Like his last two releases for Nonesuch, 2002's Nothing's in Vain and 2004's stunning Egypt, Youssou N'Dour's Rokku Mi Rokka (Give and Take) is a glistening, polished work that perpetuates the singer's recurring role as one of Africa's greatest gifts to music. Where Egypt was something of a side trip for N'Dour, a tribute to his Sufi faith, Rokku ... see all copies from $14.61! new only from $16.85!
4	7 Seconds: The Best of Youssou N'Dour (2004) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour This 16-track compilation covers Senegalese singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Youssou N'Dour's Columbia Records period, from 1991 to 1996. Perhaps the most popular pop culture figure in Senegal's history, N'Dour created a music of his own from various sources, which he called "mbalax" and which incorporates everything from jazz, soul, ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $11.06!
5	The Best of Youssou N'Dour (1995) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
6	Rewmi (2000) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour see all copies from $12.22! new only from $19.48!
7	Immigrés (1988) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour Though he was already one of the biggest names in Sahelian pop when it was made back in the 1980s, this album was a good part of what put him on the international map. On their way away from their earlier Cuban sound, N'Dour and Super Etoile did a nice job of marrying Sahel and soul, despite some rather pointless synthesizer. And, of course, by ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.98!
8	Guide (Wommat) (1994) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour Youssou N'Dour is a Senegalese singer who documents the intersection of the past and the present, so it is no surprise that there is a parable in every song on Wommat (The Guide). The record is propelled by talking drums, a horn section and guitar and bass polyrhythms that will sound familiar to fans of South African township music (or Paul Simon ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $4.35!
9	Nothing's in Vain (Coono du réér) [US] (2002) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour There's been a back-to-acoustic-roots trend among African artists recently, and even the big names don't seem exempt. Salif Keita's done it, and here Youssou N'Dour's at it -- which proves to be no bad thing. His recent output has been quite schizophrenic, divided between albums aimed at a Western audience and those for his native Senegal, with ... see all copies from $6.43! new only from $16.52!
10	The Lion (1989) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour N'Dour's big crossover album has several English-language songs. It's good, but not great work. J. Poet, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.50! new only from $11.85!
11 view cover	Eyes Open (1992) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour N'Dour's ongoing quest for a truly global African pop spurs his smoothest -- you might say most homogenized -- disc yet, one that basks in assimilation and transformation. He is becoming to mbalax what Milton Nascimento is to Brazilian, which means a gain in sophistication but a certain loss of directness. Bob Tarte, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
12 view cover	The Best of Columbia Records Radio Hour, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Featuring such artists as Bruce Cockburn, James Taylor, Shawn Colvin, and Mary-Chapin Carpenter, the second compilation drawn from The Columbia Records Radio Hour remains primarily a forum for singer/songwriters on the Sony Music roster. But the lineup has been expanded to include groups like Toad the Wet Sprocket and Booker T. & the MGs, thus ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.99!
13 view cover	Rough Guide to Youssou N'Dour & Etoile de Dakar (2002) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour/Etoile de Dakar It's widely accepted wisdom that the early, rawer material of Youssou N'Dour had an edge he's never been able to recapture since becoming a major international star. Certainly his more recent studio recordings lack the urgency and energy of the material here, which was recorded in the early '80s when he was the frontman of Étoile de Dakar, before ... see all copies from $8.60! new only from $13.16!
14	Undecided (1994) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour see all copies from $2.98! new only from $5.00!
15 view cover	Nelson Mandela (1986) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour The debut album from Senegalese singing sensation Youssou N'Dour was originally dedicated to Nelson Mandela during his stay in prison (as the title track would suggest). The arrangements are tight, laden with horn riffs and keyboard flute loops. Aside from "The Rubberband Man," all songs were penned by N'Dour himself here, and it is N'Dour that ... see all copies from $7.96!
16 view cover	Joko: The Link (2000) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour In essence, this is a reworking of Joko From Village to Town, which only appeared in Europe. However, slimmed down a bit by removing most of the duets (only "This Dream," featuring mentor Peter Gabriel, survives the cut) and all the remixes, it's definitely leaner and meaner. N'Dour has often been rightly accused of released watered-down albums ... see all copies from $13.31! new only from $16.85!
17 view cover	African Ambience (1998) more music like this by Various Artists While the emphasis is on the music of Zaire, this disc does come close to meeting the promise of its subtitle as the "ultimate African dance party." It's hard to quibble with the irresistible beats of King Sunny Ade and Franco & Rochereau. There are fine grooves throughout, so get moving. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.82! new only from $16.21!
18 view cover	Youssou N'Dour and His Friends [US] (2002) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour Billed to Youssou N'Dour, Youssou N'Dour and His Friends is actually a various-artists collection of music from Senegal. While most of it is the slickly produced mbalax that N'Dour is best known for, there are a couple surprises as well. "Lang," by N'Dour, is a surprisingly traditional effort, and the backing string arrangement on "Xaley Rewmi" is ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $16.31!
19	7 Seconds [CD/Vinyl Single] (1994) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour see all copies from $1.99! new only from $28.98!
20	How Come (1998) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour/Cani see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	Music of the World Cup (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Music of the World Cup -- Allez! Ola! Ole! is an entertaining collection of football-themed songs from throughout the world, including English versions of the Official Anthem of the World Cup for 1998 (Youssou N'Dour and Axelle Red's "Do You Mind if I Play") and the Official Song of the World Cup for 1998 (Ricky Martin's "The Cup of Life"). ... see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	Ba Tay (2002) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour see all copies from $15.36! new only from $15.36!
23 view cover	Oxfam Africa: Dance Rhythms From Algeria to Zimbabwe (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This Oxfam volume of hot hits from the African continent is a delightful volume for listening and belongs on any world music shelf. That's the bright side. The not so bright side is that this CD sheds little light on the historical, sociocultural, economic, or spiritual traditions and/or current states of these things. This is an odd thing for a ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $2.98!
24 view cover	Le Grand Bal a Bercy (2001) more music like this by Youssou N'Dour No one can accuse Youssou N'Dour of not putting on a good show. But he has two different shows, one for the Western audience, and another for Africans -- no matter where they might be. Recorded in Paris in 2000, this concert -- or at least concert excerpt -- was a recreation of his Dakar nightclub act: the full-on, no-holds-barred mbalax of N'Dour ... see all copies from $13.90! new only from $17.74!
25	Gainde: Voices from the Heart of Africa (1996) by Yande Codou Sene & Youssou N'Dour see all copies from $17.36! new only from $24.55!
