Youssou N'Dour
Since collaborating with Peter Gabriel in the 1980s, Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour has become familiar to audiences around the world. With his complex, topical music, N'Dour is the primary exponent of the mbalax sound, which combines traditional Wolof instruments and rhythmic patterns with Islamic and Cuban influences. The sleek production and pop appeal of his records have helped make N'Dour one of the most popular African artists of recent decades.
