Don't miss the return of the king of mbalax—an intoxicating fusion of popular Western music with the traditional percussion and griot singing of Senegal. More than 25 years into a career that has scaled heights once unimaginable for African music, N'Dour is still setting the pace for world music artists everywhere. Today, he continues his epic journey deep inside the traditions of his country that began with the release of Nothing's In Vain and the Grammy-winning Egypt, the two albums now considered his most remarkable achievements to date. A true cultural treasure, N'Dour is "one of the great singers, not just of Africa but the world" (The Guardian, London).
