Xamle by Batch Gueye
Xamle means “The Storyteller”. This album is all about the history that Batch used to hear as a child from his elders, passed on from generation to generation. He talks about what is needed to be a man and to be a woman, about the quality of people who care for you, about the wrestling tradition in Senegal, about loyalty to the one you love and about immigration. Batch delivers and questions deeper societal messages. An important song is “Poor”, a song in which Batch invites you to consider who is poor?: the one who does not have a lot of wealth or the one who has it but does not help othe
