Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Senegalese music \u2018god\u2019, singer, songwriter, musician, composer, occasional actor, and businessman \u2013 Youssou Madjigue\u0300ne N\u2019Dour will be making his fourth appearance at the WOMADelaide Festival in March 2023.<\/b><\/p>\n

Having thrilled audience with performance embedded in the memories of those who were present in his previous engagements at the Adelaide\u2019s Botanic Park, toured and recorded a song with WOMAD UK co-founder Peter Gabriel, Youssou N\u2019Dour and his band Le Super Etoile de Dakar will headline the final show of the 2023 WOMADelaide Festival on Monday, March 13.<\/p>\n

Said to \u201cdefine the essence of West African groove\u201d, and has also collaborated with great musicians such as Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman and Neneh Cherry, N\u2019Dour has built an international fan base of millions over his 50-year career. An artist who has broken cultural barriers and gained recognition for his music, political and humanitarian commitments.<\/p>\n

Described by the New York Times as \u201cWest Africa\u2019s cultural ambassador to the world\u201d, N\u2019Dour shot to stardom with his 1994 hit song \u201c7 Seconds\u201d which featured Neneh Cherry.<\/p>\n

His voice was again described [by the NY Times] as an \u201carresting tenor, a supple weapon deployed with prophetic authority\u201d.<\/p>\n

He wrote and performed the famous official anthem of the 1998 FIFA World Cup tournament in France with Axelle Red \u2013 La Cour des Grands [Do You Mind If I Play].<\/p>\n

The maiden WOMAD [World of Music, Arts and Dance] festival in Adelaide, South Australia was held in 1992. It was a time before large-scale music festivals, and even before the term \u2018world music\u2019 meant much to anyone.<\/p>\n

In fact, according to Ian Scobie [WOMADelaide Director], the notion world music didn\u2019t really exist the, it had only just started as a liner in the CD racks as a category.<\/p>\n

Having been in existence for three decades, the WOMADelaide is an iconic open-air festival set in Adelaide\u2019s Botanic Park. It is an award winning celebration of the very best of the World of Music, Arts, and Dance.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event which will be held from March 10 to 13 will witness diverse array of artists from over twenty six countries.<\/p>\n
