Tonight we went to one
of our local cinemas to see the "Amazing Grace" movie
which features excellent performances by cast that
includes one of my favorite world music artists,
Youssou N'Dour. Before I realized that the film was
about the abolition of the slave trade in England
(the famous song is really only incidental to the
plot), I thought maybe Youssou would sing, but that
would not have fit the well-told and moving story. If
you want to here his music, I recommend, a couple of
his CDs,
Joko From Village To
Town
and
The Guide
(Wonmat).
