Youssou N'Dour enters Senegalese presidential race

Senegalese superstar singer/producer Youssou N'Dour just announced that he will run for president against incumbent Abdoulaye Wade, and already he is making music puns. He publicly criticized Wade for "hearing only in mono, not stereo." The elections are scheduled to take place on February 26 of this year.  Also running in the election are Bruno d'Erneville, Amsatou Sow Sidibé, and Ibrahim Fall. Watch the video for N'Dour's song "7 Seconds" below.
