Youssou NDour, one of the most celebrated African musicians in history, played for one night only at the Barbican in London this week. Youssou took time out from promoting his new album to talk about how he is using world music to educate people about malaria prevention in Africa and to raise awareness about malaria in the US & UK.

Our friends at Malaria No More UK sent us this clip of Youssou speaking about his work on malaria—and his new music style—with BBC’s Radio 4. Listen to the interview online.

Youssou is a board member of Malaria No More and is also the leader of the Xeex Sibbiru campaign in his home country of Senegal. Learn more about how Xeex Sibbiru is using music to change the way people think about malaria in Senegal and across Africa.
