Senegal's Youssou Ndour Sings For Floods Victims

Sunday, 09 September 2012 20:44

Ndour sings(JollofNews) – World music icon Youssou Ndour starred in a charity concert on Saturday for flood victims in Senegal, his first performance since becoming culture minister in April.

Ndour, who was disqualified for running for president in a March election, performed alongside three other Senegalese music stars -- Ismael Lo, Thione Seck and Omar Pene.

"This is a moment of national solidarity, and a very important moment for Senegalese music and culture," he said.

Ndour said the concert raised the equivalent of around 148,000 euros for the victims of floods that have killed at least 13 people in two weeks and left thousands homeless. Organisers had said they were hoping to raise around 230,000 euros.

Le chemin des poésies.

Une rime
éphémère quand
le chant du
matin dessine
le sourire
des chansons
désolées.
