God!! The good times. Most of you will not understand, but for those of you who get it, then you were probably part of my ALDO Club generation (90s) back in Dakar. Back then, we thought we were on top of the world… Now, school, jobs and responsabilities have gotten the best of us.
For those who want to be in the loop, Aldo club was THE place to be on saturday nite in Dakar (the previous generations went to Metro… and though some of us have been a few times feeling like grown ups amongst the other real grown ups, our era was Aldo). When came time to go back to school on monday and you hadn’t been there…then U missed big time… Ohhhh.. High School…we couldnt wait to get out of there. I Graduated high school (Jeanne Darc, les vaches bleu pour les intimes) in 2000…and I’ve been missing it eversince…
Here are some of the fly songs we used to dance on. My people will recognize…
This one… My squad stays on point like dat dat dat dat dadat its the joint!
Oooooh and that one…
AND THIS…WAS probably THE ANTHEM
Go ahead if u know em…
Tchuss,

Tell me what u know about “No more lies” de Michelle Lee or “I’ve been thinking about u” London Beat. Souvenirs souvenirs avec Dj Eduardo.
