King Meissa N'Gom, a distinguished Senegalese salsero, embarked on his musical journey in the late 1960s, recording Afro-Cuban tracks sung in Spanish. Born into a prominent political family, his passion for music led him to pursue a different path. In 1975, a brief engagement at Cotonou's legendary Appolo Club extended into a three-year tenure, during which he collaborated with Danialou Sagbohan's Djiki Band and produced several recordings. Subsequently, N'Gom spent a decade in Mexico, captivating audiences with his salsa performances. His early recordings, including renditions of "Guantanamera" and original compositions like "Fatema," showcase his unique blend of African and Latin musical traditions.
