Saturday Youssou: Mame Bamba
I’ve finished up the Youssou N’dour documentary that I’ve been working on recently and last night the whole crew was invited to see Youssou and his band perform at Joe’s Pub to benefit the Roll Back Malaria Partnership. It’s a very intimate setting, the place holds maybe 200 people tops. He performed this song along with the one I posted the other night and a host of others.
A beautiful show for a very worthy cause. The film is beautiful. The music is beautiful. I am still dancing.
Enjoy!
