    I was hardly familiar with his music, but I've heard a lot of positive things about his cultural and humanitarian work. That's why I was quite saddened when I saw the news of his paassing in the WOMEX Newsletter . Scroll down to read his '2007 Womex Award' acceptance speech. Very impressive! May he rest in peace!
