I respect music, I do. I love it.

Senegal needs a renaissance.

I'm a modern Muslim. I pray, and if I have a question, I ask someone who is more educated in the religion than me.

I have studied at the school of the world.

Travel teaches as much as books.

When I'm in Senegal, I can't just sit in isolation making music. People need my help. And the Senegalese people helped create my music. It comes from the country itself.

I love meeting interesting people and doing things with them.
