I had the name of this artist in my head until I got home. I had been listening in the car. I'm not sure this is the right guy, but his English was excellent, and I think he also sang a song in French. He also talked about a partner he knew and has performed with since he was about 12 years old.

The only name I'm positive of is Senegal, and he planned a music festival there.

I'd like to listen to this interview again if it is available as I was just mesmerized with this guy's intellect, talent, and abilities.

Thanks.
