Rare, discreet, melancholy, meticulous, what else? Ah yes, author, composer, performer who does not lend itself to all fires. What else?
It’s hard to say, he traded his Wolof for language and guitar games, his inner life is full of drawers filled with love for the 7th art, Japan and meditation. Brother of, but also Father of, in short, the Diop family is sprawlingly powerful. His Senegal shudders (he’s right) and his France also pales (she’s not wrong). Because it is a man from the islands who makes Saint-Louis his Senegalese land. Damn. I don’t know anything about Wasis Diopjust that friendship is his only religion, that he is there with his stories ice cream and gazelle (new album) and that he sometimes listens to En Sol Majeur while cooking… But Wasis Diop, what are you cooking?
