This book is about Senegalese Pop star Youssou Ndour, a cultural icon and leader in social advocacy in Senegal, Africa, and the world in general. The author analyzes Ndour's philosophical stance, religious beliefs, and wisdom from his rich song repertoire.

Sufi oral discourse in Senegal is overwhelmingly dominated by stories about past and current shaykhs. These oral texts, deeply rooted in their context of production, which dictates their form and functions, are still generally unknown to scholars of Islam in Senegal and West Africa. By filling this gap, this book contributes to the discourse of religions in general and Sufi Islam in particular.
