“Mory Kante was able to find an ideal balance in crossover music and the western public was ready to welcome these sounds. Mory Kante draws mainly on funky music for inspiration, mixing it with the sounds of Africa and switching between traditional and modern musical instruments. ”Yeke Yeke” became a worldwide no. 1 hit. The song’s dazzling success took everyone by surprise and succeeded in giving African music the place it rightfully deserves. Mory Kante is still going strong.
