Reviews Customer Reviews for Egypt      Direct flight from Senegal to Egypt      Rating:      Youssou N'Dour is to Senegal what Fela Kuti was to Nigeria. Moreover, he moves far beyond the borders of Senegal and Africa having embraced World Music and recorded with Paul Simon and others. Egypt features him with a full Egyptian orchestra and as always the result is invigorating, enlightening and enjoyable. While I doubt you will understand the lyrics, the music speaks for itself and the message is rewarding. My only complaint is the 41 minute running time for this CD. I don't believe these were the only tracks recorded. If you want traditional Senegalese music then pass on this album. If you want to experience a hybrid musical experience then buy this album. If you are unsure then buy a low-priced used version. It is worth a $5.00 investment.     Customer Reviews for Egypt Cd      Praise songs      Rating:      This CD is excellent. The music is moving and the lyrics, read in translation, with their passionate praise of various people in Senegal and Africa, are wonderfully affirming.
