Youssou N’Dour: I Bring What I Love

Thu 11 March • Iau 11 Mawrth

Senegal/Egypt/France/USA /2008/102 mins/subtitled/PG .
Dir: Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi. With Youssou N’Dour, Peter
Gabriel, Moustapha Mbaye.


This refreshingly optimistic film follows Youssou N’Dour on his world tour to promote Egypt, his ground-breaking album that united Arab and African musical traditions in praise of Islam. Acclaimed as timely in the West, the album was labelled blasphemous back home in Senegal. N’Dour stresses the compassionate, tolerant side of Islam and his infectious belief in the potential for young Africans to solve the problems they face makes for a revealing spiritual journey.

"..a voice so extraordinary that the history of Africa
seems locked up inside it." — Rolling Stone
