Mbaye had developed a unique Senegalese guitar style in which he made his Fender Stratocaster sound like local instruments such as the Kora or Xalam.<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Style<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mbaye was different from other guitarists because of his unique style. Youssou Ndour once said of him: \u201cNo one, no one, plays guitar like Jimi Mbaye. His playing style is unique\u201d. Mbaye succeeded in transposing the African traditional sounds of Khalam (Ngoni) and Kora onto his electric Fender Stratocaster. Carlos Santana and Mbaye met during a tour in Los Angeles where Carlos acknowledged that: \u201cJimi is a very special and incredible guitarist\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Jimi had also proven to be a good singer, very melodic, a true harmonicist.<\/p>\n<p><b>Albums<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[Mbaye had released three solo albums, \u201cDakar Heart\u201d, \u201cYaye Digalma\u201d and \u201cKhare Dounya\u201d. The latter was recorded in Jimi\u2019s new studio Studio Dogo, in which he produced other artists.<\/p>\n<p><b>Early years<\/b><\/p>\n<p>At the age of ten years Mbaye built his first guitar out of fishing line and gasoline cans. At twenty he\u2019d scraped up enough money to buy a secondhand Fender Stratocaster. Mbaye was just as determined to get a guitar as he was to make it in the competitive Dakar music scene.<\/p>\n<p>Early on he met Youssou N\u2019Dour and together they became rising stars on Senegal\u2019s club scene, playing Mbalax music. They created the \u201cSuper Etoile\u201d band together in 1981 and had been musically inseparable for all these years.<\/p>\n<p><b>Later works<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mbaye recorded six top-selling major-label albums with N\u2019Dour before taking a leave of absence to record his own solo album, released in 1997, \u201cDakar Heart\u201d. Recorded at N\u2019Dour\u2019s Studio Xippi, \u201cDakar Heart\u201d features N\u2019Dour\u2019s band \u201cSuper Etoile\u201d. He then got back at N\u2019Dour\u2019s side and was very much an integral part of Youssou\u2019s \u201cSuper Etoile\u201d band all these days. In fact, Youssou often travelled abroad with only Mbaye as acoustic guitar accompanist, as he did in June, 1998 for performances in Paris as guests of Brazilian performer Gilberto Gil at the Olympia Theatre.<\/p>\n<p>He worked with Youssou N\u2019Dour since 1979 and was one of Senegal\u2019s most influential guitarists. Often compared to Jimi Hendrix and Robert Johnson, Mbaye had forged a unique blend of traditional Senegalese roots music and American pop and R&amp;B.<\/p>\n<p>Recording a solo album, Dakar Heart, with help from Super Etoile Band musicians in 1997, Mbaye showcased his inventive, Kora-derived guitar playing and singing in Wolof, English, and French. Billboard called him \u201ca prodigious world talent,\u201d while Rhythm referred to him as \u201cone of Senegal\u2019s most exciting musicians.\u201d Music had played an ongoing role in Mbaye\u2019s life. As a youngster, he performed on a self-invented instrument made from discarded garbage cans and nylon fishing line in the streets of Dakar. By the age of 20, he had graduated to a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. Mbaye continued to be the backbone of N\u2019Dour\u2019s band. In addition to co-writing the 1994 single \u201cMame Bamba,\u201d he had made valuable contributions to six N\u2019Dour recordings. Mbaye and N\u2019Dour had increasingly performed as a duo. In 1998, they opened the show for Brazilian guitarist Gilberto Gil at the Olympic Theater in Paris.<\/p>\n<p><b>Collaborations<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hi third album called \u201cKhare Dounya\u201d was released in 2012. \u201cKhare Dounya\u201d means \u201cFight for Life\u201d. He recorded this album with his band \u201cGroup Dogo\u201d. It\u2019s an album where Mbaye showed really his musicality. He started to tour with his band around the country (Senegal) and the West African region.<\/p>\n<p>Since he had his studio Mbaye often collaborated with many artists from Africa and the rest of the world. We remember the album Daxaar with the late jazz drummer Steve Reid recorded in Mbaye\u2019s studio Dogo in Dakar.<\/p>\n<p>He was friendly with many musicians. During gigs he would rehearse with other artists to create new songs they could record later to advance their own careers.<\/p>\n<p>He often produced albums for musicians in Senegal. And sometimes he performed with them.<\/p>\n<p>Jimi died on Tuesday night 11 February 2025 in Dakar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
