Youssou N'Dour
Youssou N'Dour ((:jusu nˈduʁ); born 1 October 1959) is a Senegalese singer, percussionist, songwriter, composer, occasional actor, businessman and a politician. In 2004, ''Rolling Stone'' described him as, "perhaps the most famous singer alive" in Senegal and much of Africa.〔Considine, J. D., and Matos, Michaelangelo, ("Biography: Youssou N'Dour" ) ''RollingStone.com'', 2004.〕 From April 2012 to October 2012, he was Senegal's Minister of Tourism and Culture, and from October 2012 to September 2013, he was Senegal's Minister of Tourism and Leisure.
N'Dour helped to develop a style of popular Senegalese music known in the Serer language as ''mbalax'', which derives from the conservative Serer music tradition of ''"Njuup"''. He is the subject of the award-winning films ''Return to Goree'' directed by Pierre-Yves Borgeaud and ''Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I Love'' directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, which were released around the world.
==Life==
N'Dour was born in Dakar to a Wolof mother and a Serer father. At age 12, he began to perform and within a few years was performing regularly with the Star Band, Dakar's most popular group during the early 1970s. Several members of the Star Band joined Orchestra Baobab about that time.
Despite N'Dour's maternal connection to the traditional griot caste, he was not raised in that tradition, which he learned instead from his siblings. His parents' world view encouraged a modern outlook, leaving him open to two cultures and thereby inspiring N'Dour's identity as a modern griot.
