The Lion

Album by Youssou N’Dour

The Lion is a 1989 studio album by Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour. Musically it blends the driving mbalax rhythms of Senegal—characterised by complex percussion patterns and layered call-and-response vocals—with elements of pop and world-music instrumentation, marking a further movement in N'Dour's career toward integrating contemporary global styles with his Senegalese roots.
