Mbalax The Intricate Dance Music Of Senegal Has Been Made More Accessible To Western Listeners By Cheikh Lô Born Cheikh N'Digel Lô . Softening The Hard Edges Of Mbalax And Incorporating Elements Of Salsa Zairian/Congolese Rhumba Folk And Jazz Lô Has Created An Infectious Hook-Laden Style Of Pop Music. While Roots World Described Lô's Musical Approach By Writing "complemented By The Acoustic Guitar Exploding Tama And Free-Falling Electric Bass Lô's Voice Has A Rounded Sweetness With Poetic Hills And Valleys " Real Groove Magazine Explained "with Its Enigmatic Complexity And So Non 4/4 Beat Mbalax Has Had Difficulty Outside West Africa. Where Even N'Dour's Overdone Attempts To Counter This Problem Have Failed Lô Has Succeeded. His Acoustic Approach Gives A Magic Mbalax Music That My Friends Can Appreciate." Cora Correction Also With A Similar View Wrote "West Africa Has Produced The Continent's Most Powerful Singers And Lô Easily Earns A High Position In The Pantheon."
