In French. Youssou N'Dour sings the atmosphere, the rhythm and the flavor of his childhood in Dakar. He tells of the atmospheres of the market, the unchanging rituals of preparing the meal, between women, the family gathered around the large common dish, the taste of his recipes evocative of maternal love... Youssou remembers while his mother, Sokhna, this generous woman, for whom the most beautiful moments are those spent with her family, shares her know-how and her recipes: thieboudienne, yassa poulet, mafé, accras, all the classics of a festive and popular cuisine. A tasty journey to the heart of an authentic Senegalese cuisine, a culture and its traditions. Near fine.
