Youssou N’Dour’s campaign team released the video for his presidential campaign song ‘Fekké Maci Boolé’. Strangely, N’Dour’s official French facebook campaign’s biography (apart from punting the obligatory “Yes You can!” profile) only mentions the wives he wed and the children he has fathered:

The eldest of his family, Youssou N’Dour grew up in the district of Médina, Dakar. His father Elimane N’Dour is of Serer origin while his mother Ndeye Sokhna Mboup is an original Toucouleur and Wolof griotte. As a Muslim and a member of the Mouride Brotherhood in Senegal, Youssou N’Dour and his wife Mami Camara officially divorced after 17 years of marriage. They had four children together (Ndeye Sokhna, Segui, St. Louis and Venus). In his youth, and before his marriage to Camara Mami, Youssou N’Dour had a son and a daughter, Birane and Thioro, from two different mothers. He is currently married to Aida Coulibaly, a French-Senegalse métisse with whom he had two daughters, the eldest of whom is named Mary. Aida Coulibaly is currently the President of the Youssou N’Dour Foundation.

How will this possibly help him win an election?
