Senegalese artist Youssou N'dour and 19 others collaborate

From Afropop worldwide:
A coalition of 20 Senegalese musicians teamed up to raise awareness about coronavirus and also raise funds for Senegal's Ministry of Health, releasing a remix of an old Youssou N'Dour tune.

IT IS AWESOME.



In addition to being a great tune, I enjoy seeing the faces of all these artists--and also watching the murals grow.

The music is a guise, and now I'm reflecting it, and my reach is sharing these words with you.

Thank you! I too enjoyed seeing the singers and listening to their language.

Here's a similar musical collaboration from Crete.
