Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos
Len Brown, NME, 3 June 1989
YOUSSOU N'DOUR and PETER GABRIEL, the pair that have set so many causes alight, have combined again, this time to champion female emancipation. LEN BROWN braves civil disorder in Dakar and Africa's equivalent of Delboy and Rodney and discovers far more than just another country with a racial problem.
