Don't miss the
legendary Youssou N'Dour at Symphony Hall, Birmingham this August, for
an unforgettable night!
Africa Rekk (Africa and
that's final!): is Africa celebrated by Youssou Ndour, with all its
modern and traditional compartments. It features Mbalax, the Wolof
beat, but as part of a blend: for instance, with rumba and other
rhythms. It's an umbilical cord that links all of Africa.
Youssou N'Dour wants the world to stop haggling over the wealth
of Africa, a continent where Senegal plays a leading role. Six years
after the reggae campaign and his Bob Marley cover on the Dakar-Kingston
album, the Prince of the Medina of Dakar has been back in the
recording studio.
While he was serving as Minister of Culture and then Tourism in
the government of President Macky Sall, he put his artistic
activities on hold, but his current status as Minister Adviser to
the President has given him more time to explore his creativity.
