Legendary Senegalese singer, percussionist and social revolutionist, Youssou N’Dour will be performing in Melbourne and Sydney at the end of March 2018. According to Rolling Stone “Ndour is perhaps the most famous singer alive in Senegal and much of Africa”, however is also known to Australian audiences through his work with Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and through his smash hit 1994 single “7 Seconds” featuring Neneh Cherry.

His voice is a true gift, rich and full of character, it must be heard in person to be believed.

His Australian performances will also feature acrobatic dancers and some of Senegal’s best singers and musicians. Together it adds up to a spectacular, not to be missed event.
