Africa is the future.

Senegal needs to free itself, to rediscover its democracy.

I don't want to see that two-tier Senegal, that two-tier Africa, when you have those at the top and those at the bottom, people who are hungry, people who do not have enough to eat.

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

Politics is politics; art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.

I want to use my music to deliver a political message and sometimes to denounce, but I don't want to be a politician.

I have to protect my family and have a life with them that is completely private.
