Music in Africa often contains messages. Music in Senegal, and Africa, is never music for music's sake or solely for entertainment. It's always a vehicle for social connections, discussions and ideas.

I love meeting interesting people and doing things with them.

I respect music, I do. I love it.

World music is about taking things from different places and bringing them together - which is great.

My father used to tell me about how musicians don't have respect from people and he was afraid about my future.

Africa is the future.

I think that Sufism fits all over the world. The concept is not anything that fits standard Western ideas - it's always related to culture, to music, to religion. It is a dominant religion in Senegal.
