Grammy Award-winning cultural ambassador Youssou N'dour has long been renowned for bringing people of diverse nations and backgrounds together through his collaborations with such musical superstars as Bono, Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel—and for rousing global audiences with his honey-like voice, electrifying rhythms and impossibly catchy melodies.

But when he releases his most daringly personal and spiritual album yet, N'dour instead rocks his Muslim fans in Africa. Now, even as he garners accolades in the West, N'dour must brave controversy and rejection at home as he sets out to win his audience back with the sheer transcendent optimism of his music, which moves hips and feet but also hearts and minds.
