Cherif is one of those who is influenced by classical influences as well as the rhythm of the Sengalese mbalax and flamenco. And so you have music which though basically Sengalese still has a voice all its own. The lyrics of a lot of African music might sound quite preachy to us. The first cut, Kham Kham, has the singer advising to seek knowledge. "Doomu Adama" urges the listener to give in return for God giving to the listener. "Adduna" is a plea for peace. "Boroom Ker" urges the head of the family to treat the family well, and to not hang about and come home late. "Weet" urges charity from those that are rich, and strength and patience from those who are destitute. Other songs deal again with peace, with the admonition to not "miss the train", to stay away from evil, urging to sing and chant and dance together.
