AfricAvenir Presents: Pape & Cheikh’s New Album „Yërmënde“
In cooperation with the label |+| Faluma Africa, AfricAvenir is proud to present the long awaited new album by senegalese folk group Pape & Cheikh „Yërmënde“(meaning: compassion, mercy and tolerance). As in their earlier works, they catch the audience with their congenial voices and lyrics, the decent instrumentation, skillful use of acoustic guitars – the extremely distinguished and unique sound of Pape & Cheikh!n
Pape & Cheikh‘s unique mix of traditional Senegalese folk music, pop beats and Mbalax, spiced with socially engaged lyrics and catchy melodies has a wide fan base not only in their homeland Senegal but also all around the globe. nFounded in 1997 the duo started to release on Youssou N’Dour’s label and toured with him near and far. In 2000 they took Senegal by storm with their thoughtful protest song “Yatal Gueew” that became the anthem of all 24 opposition parties during the crucial elections of that year. It surely was partially thanks to the impact of this song that the change of government was peaceful and democratic. nWith their third album and homonymous hit single “Mariama” Pape et Cheikh achieved their international breakthrough. nAfter touring the world as opener for Tracy Chapman, they are now back with their fourth album “Yërmënde” (meaning: compassion, mercy and tolerance). Again they catch the audience with their congenial voices and lyrics, the decent instrumentation, skillful use of acoustic guitars, the extremely distinguished sound of Pape & Cheikh… nSome were tempted to compare them with Bob Dylan, but there is no need to draw comparisons – Pape & Cheikh are unique!
