Peter Gabriel & Youssou N’Dour - Shaking The Tree

Shaking The Tree featuring Youssou N’Dour. Available on the album ’Shaking the Tree - 16 Golden Greats’ Released in 1990, Shaking The Tree was a career-spanning overview of Peter’s solo years from that first self-titled album of 1977 up to the 1989 Passion soundtrack with a few curiosities and rarities to grab the ear of the completist. The compilation’s title track, a playful duet between Peter and Senegalese superstar Youssou N’Dour, hadn’t previously appeared on a Gabriel album, just on Youssou’s The Lion album. Here it reappears, albeit it with a new vocal from Peter. Here Comes The Flood, originally from that 1977 debut, is also revisited, this time in a deeply effective (and affecting) piano-and-voice treatment. Lyrics Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin’ the tree Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin’ the tree Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life Waiting your time,
