I Bring What I Love
Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love is a music-infused cinematic journey about the power of one man’s voice to inspire change.
One of Time magazine’s100 most influential people in the world and called 'the rare rock star whose music matters,' Senegalese singer Youssou Ndour is beloved internationally and at home.
In 2005, the Grammywinning artist defied expectations and produced his most personal album, Egypt, presenting his Islamic faith as a peaceable and tolerant religion.
While the record received international acclaim, it was denounced as blasphemy in his native Senegal.
Director Chai Vasarhelyi follows Ndour for over two years, filming in Africa, Europe, and America, to tell the story of how he faces these challenges and eventually wins over audiences both at home and abroad.
Born in Dakar, Senegal, Youssou Ndour introduced international audiences to mbalax, a
Senegalese blend of African, Caribbean, and pop rhythms, with his band Le Super Etoile
de Dakar.
The highest selling African pop musician of all time, he has released more
than 30 albums, and he won a 2005 Grammy Award for his album Egypt.
