Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love
Youssou N’Dour has been called Africa’s greatest musician and is doubtless one of its most successful artists. Throughout his musical career, a profound social awareness has co-existed with spirituality and religion. In 2004 he released Egypt, with Islam as the central subject. The record aimed to provide an alternative perspective to Islam, and led to great controversy in his home country Senegal. I Bring What I Love follows Youssou N’Dour in the period after the release, bringing us up close to the artist and his music. ka
