Yakar is the follow-up to Senegalese songwriter Amadou Diagne’s well-received debut ‘Introducing Amadou Diagne’. This time working with producer Griselda Sanderson the thirteen-track album includes guest appearances from Abdoulaye Samb, Pete Josef, Simo Lagnawi, Alioune Samb & Louis Bingham. Taking his style of Senegalese blues into new territory with some rich arrangements Yakar explores themes of love and life as an immigrant as well as re-interpreting traditional songs. Yakar was mastered by Tim Oliver at Top Cat.
