Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I Love, the documentary film by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi that follows N'Dour as he records and tours with his Grammy-winning 2004 album, Egypt, begins its European theatrical release today in six cities across the Netherlands: Amsterdam, Breda, The Hague, Nijmegen, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. The film is slated for US release on June 12.

After the film's world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last summer, the Toronto Star's John Goddard described it as "a stirring documentary" that "pulses with life and energy." The songs of Egypt, the album featured in the film, "with backing singers, rich orchestrations, N'Dour's soaring vocals and his natural inclination to reach out across cultures and traditions," says Goddard, "carry a deeply spiritual message of openness and beauty."

"In these troubling and uncertain times," says Vasarhelyi, the film's director, "I Bring What I Love tells a simple, uplifting story of faith, and the pursuit of one's dreams, all to the mesmerizing African rhythms, song, and dance that have made Youssou the most influential African singer today."

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
