Youssou N'Dour Plays Boulder Theater Tonight
Z2 Entertainment will present An Evening with Youssou N'Dour at the Boulder Theater tonight, November 4th, 2015.
Born in Dakar in 1959, Youssou N'Dour is a passionate singer, composer, bandleader, and producer whose strikingly expressive voice transformed both the mbalax music of his native Senegal and Western pop. N'Dour returns to the U.S. in September 2014 with his band, the Super Étoile, who have recorded and toured the world with N'Dour for nearly 30 years. With his traditional griot oral history, Wolof lyrics, and praise-singing with Afro-Cuban arrangements N'Dour was named "African Artist of the Century" by the English publication fRoots and to the TIME 100- Time magazine's annual list of "the hundred men and women whose power, talent, or moral example is transforming the world." N'Dour was the subject of the documentary I Bring What I Love, about Senegal's divided reaction to his Grammy Award-winning album Egypt, a deeply spiritual album dedicated to a more tolerant view of Islam (both the album and the documentary soundtrack were released by Nonesuch). In 2013 N'Dour was awarded Sweden's prestigious Polar Music Prize.
