SUMMER OF MUSIC @ Morningside Park Lower Lawn
Enter From Morningside Ave at 114th Street

Jazzmobile Presents: Afro-Haitian Jazz with Buyu Ambroise
& "I Bring What I Love" (film)

"Senegalese pop sensation Youssou Ndour has spent the last 20 years in the spotlight as a world-renowned musician and the iconic representative “voice of Africa.” At the height of his career, Youssou became frustrated by the negative perception of his Muslim faith and composed Egypt, a deeply spiritual album dedicated to a more tolerant view of Islam. The album’s brave musical message was wholeheartedly embraced by Western audiences but ignited serious religious controversy in his homeland of Senegal. The film chronicles the difficult journey Youssou must undertake to assume his true calling."
