1990 music Youssou NDour - 7 Seconds ft. Neneh Cherry
Youssou N'Dour (French pronunciation: [jusu nˈduʁ]; born 1 October 1959) is a Senegalese singer, songwriter, composer, occasional actor, businessman, and politician. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine described him as, "perhaps the most famous singer alive" in Senegal and much of Africa. From April 2012 to September 2013, he was Senegal's Minister of Tourism.
"7 Seconds" is a song composed by Youssou N'Dour, Neneh Cherry, Cameron McVey and Jonathan Sharp. It was released in 1994 as a single performed by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry. It achieved much success, reaching the top chart position in numerous countries.
The black and white music video was directed by Stéphane Sednaoui. It features people of different ethnicities walking by while the two are singing. When they sing the chorus, different kinds of people's faces appear.
All instruments on the single were produced and arranged by Swedish music producer Christian Falk, who also played bass on the track. It was included on Neneh Cherry's album Man (1996). The song is trilingual as N'Dour sings in 3 languages: French, English and the West African language Wolof. Cherry sings only in English. The song also appeared on N'Dour's album, The Guide (Wommat), released shortly after the single.
The title and refrain of the song refers to the first moments of a child's life; as Cherry put it, "not knowing about the problems and violence in our world".
On a side note. Finally is the moving to a new house is done. Lots lots lots of work, but im glad its finally over. It has been particulary difficoult because I was left almost alone. Lots of people promised to help but when the time came they all or most vanished. My best friend a week before the moving had a accident with his bike and broke his ankle. Shit happens and get well soon Daniel. But everybody else...hmm no comment. Well anyways now im fully back uploading stuff i enjoy on dtube and enjoying the life on steemit.
