His youthful face – it is hard to believe he is now in his mid-fifties – lights up when he talks about Senegal. “The next day people come to visit me: groups of young people or women anyone who has a problem that they want to discuss. This is the traditional way of dealing with things. We’re all part of the same community – we just sit down and talk together. Baaba Maal is one of Africa’s best-known musicians internationally famous both as a master of authentically West African musical styles and as someone unafraid to mix them with anything from blues to funk and folk.

Nigeria Morocco Guinea Mali and Tunisia were casualties of the regional qualifying process and Nations Cup holders Egypt withdrew to concentrate on getting to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. That leaves Ivory Coast Ghana and Senegal from the ‘elite’ at the Nations Championship with DR Congo Libya Tanzania Zambia and Zimbabwe completing the line-up. With the Congolese Libyans Senegalese Tanzanians and Zimbabweans failed to make the final qualifying phase of the 2010 World Cup-African Nations Cup Ivory Coast offers hope of some consolation. Abidjan-based Group A seeds Ivory Coast warmed up with home victories over Burkina Faso (3-0) and Equatorial Guinea (2-0) and Charles Dje Bi Trazie and Jacques Tano displayed consistency by scoring in both. While playing at home offers an advantage to a squad including four players each from Abidjan giants ASEC Mimosas and Africa Sports choosing which team is likely to accompany them into the semi-finals is difficult. The intensive East and Central Africa Senior Challenge Cup in Uganda last month boosted the preparations of Tanzania and Zambia while Senegal faced man Gambia Cape Verde Islands and Libya in pre-tournament friendlies.
