Though he was already one of the biggest names in Sahelian pop when it was made back in the 1980s, Immigres was a good part of what put N'Dour on the international map. On their way away from their earlier Cuban sound, he and Super Etoile did a nice job of marrying Sahel and soul, despite some rather pointless synthesizer. And, of course, by now this one is part of recent musical history -- almost a classic, in fact. And yes, it's disgracefully short, although Celluloid's 1997 reissue appends the Bitim Rew LP. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide
