"One of the world's greatest singers" (New York Times), Youssou N'Dour is a global superstar and considered by many to be West Africa's cultural ambassador to the world. Named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in 2007, he has thrilled audiences world-wide for nearly three decades with his contemporary version of Senegalese mbalax music, and has collaborated with such artists as Peter Gabriel, Neneh Cherry ("7 Seconds"), Paul Simon, Branford Marsalis, Wyclef Jean, and Bruce Springsteen. Showcasing his innovative and highly personal synthesis of musical language and culture, N'Dour returns to Cal Performances with his long time band The Super Etoile to perform music from his latest album, Rokku Mi Rokka (Give and Take), which pays homage to the music and people from the desert-swept region of north Senegal.
