Youssou Ndour is a candidate for Museke.com's favourite African music legend poll. It's not the only award he's running for these days. A film has been made about him, titled 'I bring what I love'. It is written, directed and co-produced by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi. The movie chronicles events surrounding the release of Youssou's Egypt album, in which he tried to shed 'Islam' in a positive light. It was highly successful abroad but generated a lot of controversy in his home country of Senegal.
This is not the first time he has appeared in a movie or documentary. In 'Amazing Grace', as Olaudah Equiano, he acted as a central figure in the abolitionist movement in Great Britain and he was also on the movie's soundtrack. In 'Retour à Gorée', he played himself, journeying from the island of Gorée to the USA and back, exploring the origins of jazz, which go back to the era of slave trade in Africa, through a concert performed by an international group of artists.
