The golden voice of Youssou N'Dour ignites the public

All came to listen to one of the most beautiful voices of Africa at Parc Longchamps in Marseille. That of Youssou N'Dour for his first participation in the Jazz Festival of the Five Continents. And nobody was disappointed! With his infectious warmth and energetic energy, the ambassador of the Senegalese soul has thrilled the audience to the sound of mbalax, the famous popular musical rhythm of Senegal.

We, we have a music that speaks of Africa but a music that speaks to all these sensibilities, all these colors that we find everywhere in world music. Africa is the mother of all music.

Youssou N'Dour

Accompanied by the Super Etoile of Dakar, Youssou N'Dour made the show in his sequined costume, juggling with all styles and chaining his most famous titles.

Youssou N'Dour, a committed artist

more than an artist, he is also a committed man. Last June, Youssou N'Dour gave a concert for peace in Omaha Beach, in Normandy. The occasion for the one who in his country became minister-adviser of the president Macky Sall, to support the candidacy of the beaches of the disembarkation with the World Heritage of Unesco.

Thursday, July 26th, the musician is with the side of Amadou and Mariam at the Jean Deschamps Theater in Carcassonne and will continue his tour in Belgium with the Grand Ball in Brussels on July 27 and in Germany and Italy at the end of September. In October, he will be performing in the United States.
