I Bring What I Love
This weekend I finally had a chance to experience the Maryland Film Festival for the first time. I didn’t know what I was getting into, but I truly loved what I saw: Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love. It’s the beautiful story of Senagalese and Sufi Muslim born singer, Youssou Ndour and how he uses his music to help educate and ease the tensions of religion. Definitely check it out if you have a chance. The music and imagery alone are enough to draw you in.
P.S. Even if you don’t know his name, you may recognize Youssou voice from the background of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes“!

The song he did with Neneh Cherry, 7 Seconds, is amazing and one of my favorites.
