"Youssou N'Dour has been called 'the African voice of the century' and 'one of the world's greatest singers.' That may suggest a whiff of hyperbole, but not in the case of N'Dour." - Los Angeles Times

Superstar Senegalese vocalist Youssou N'Dour absorbs the entire diversity of the Senegalese musical spectrum in his work, often filtering his country's musical heritage through a modernist lens of genre-defying rock or pop music from outside Senegalese culture. His new album Dakar-Kingston (to be realeased in the US on June 7) features both new material and earlier favorites revisited from a reggae perspective.

N'Dour has made mbalax--developed as a blend of the country's traditional griot percussion and praise-singing with Afro-Cuban arrangements and flavors--famous throughout the world during nearly 30 years of recording and touring outside of Senegal with his band, the Super Étoile. He has worked with Western stars ranging from Neneh Cherry to Peter Gabriel to Wyclef Jean to Sting.
