NDAR St-L
'''

Summer 2012. Multi-instrumentist artist Ndar Saint-Louis aka Ndar St-L aka Ndar St-Louis or NSt-L began producing a double album of 30 tracks: The Blue Album. Most of the songs were conceived, recorded and produced at Tsun Studios in Vieux-Boucau/Landes/France where lived the artist at the time. All the song's themes are mostly inspired by the Atlantic Ocean and the city of Saint-Louis du Sénégal.

BACKWASH was inspired by the Wedge in Newport Beach, California linked to the artist's own experience of death by drowning few years ago while surfing in Biarritz and his knowledge of similar waves patterns at Les Sablères, a famous spot in Vieux-Boucau.

DAÑU WËRI SAINT-LOUIS relates the departure of some child for his father's hometown in Sénégal. A sad song written both in wolof and english and dealing with identity crisis and so-called broken family ties.

SOMEONE'S TRUST is a bitter song about trustworthiness.

ISAAC is the name of a hurricane. Brimstone, thunder and lightnings. Heavy rain, strong winds and flood damages. Hard times. Florida. Haïti, New Orleans. This song is a typical example of the Nyahrock style explored by Ndar St-L over the years.

FOUR HUNDRED AND DREAD Is a Nyah-Boogie Rock song exposing one serious matter along its lyrics. The ignoble Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
