March 2005

Senegalese singer/songwriter sensation Youssou N’Dour (who graced the cover of Q-News, Issue 358) has recently been garnering some serious accolades. His London show last Ramadan was called “dazzling” and reviewers have been raving about his “thoroughly inspired” new album. In December, The Times declared his album, Egypt, featuring Sufi Islamic music from Senegal and Egypt as one of the top ten albums of the year and now Youssou has garnered the prestigious BBC Radio 3 World Music Album of the Year Award. Youssou is one of Islam’s finest ambassadors - may he continue to bring joy to all who hear him!
