Youssou NDOUR

World Music Institute and Kings Theatre welcome Senegal’s legendary Youssou NDOUR back to NYC, to celebrate the April 4th release of his new album, Eclairer le monde (Light the World). Hailed by Peter Gabriel as “simply one of the best singers alive”, NDOUR is the GRAMMY Award-winning musician and cultural icon from the Senegalese capital of Dakar. Known for his extraordinary voice and vocal range – he was named in NPR’s 50 Great Voices list – his influence spans continents and decades, solidifying his place as a global changemaker and ambassador for African culture.
