Description
Documentary. Directed by Pierre-Yves Borgeaud. In English, French and Wolof, with English subtitles. (Not rated. 110 minutes. At the Sundance Kabuki.)
Like Auschwitz and Abu Ghraib, Gorée Island was the scene of unspeakable horror. From the mid-1500s to the mid-1800s, the island was the transit point for West African slaves who were imprisoned, tortured and measured there before being shipped to their slave masters in the United States and other lands.
Located near Senegal's westernmost point, the island is a central figure in filmmaker Pierre-Yves Borgeaud's touching, sad, sometimes tense and ultimately uplifting documentary about a Senegalese singer's quest to frame African-influenced music - including jazz and blues - through the lens of slavery. The singer is no ordinary crooner. Youssou N'Dour, who has worked with Bruce Springsteen and Peter Gabriel, is one of Africa's biggest superstars - a musician so important that Time magazine listed him in 2007 as one of the world's 100 most influential people.
Borgeaud's camera follows N'Dour as he orchestrates a Gorée concert featuring musicians from the United States and Europe. The trip takes N'Dour full circle - from obtaining the blessing of Gorée Island's most notable guide and historian (Joseph Ndiaye); to Atlanta, where N'Dour and pianist Moncef Genoud meet a trio of church gospel singers with whom they perform; to New Orleans, where they jam with drummer Idris Muhammad; to New York, where poet/author/spoken-word artist Amiri Baraka join N'Dour; to Luxembourg, where N'Dour meets with ministers and other artists; and finally back to Gorée, where N'Dour's concert takes place in front of Senegalese who are enraptured by the jazzy music.
The documentary succeeds because it seamlessly fuses disparate elements. It's a travelogue that takes viewers across oceans into the lives of top-name musicians and everyday people; it's a history lesson that connects modern music with the human bondage that began ravaging Africa at the end of the Middle Ages; and it's a concert panorama that showcases both impromptu and practiced performances that deserve standing ovations. Among the many highlights: N'Dour swaying to drummers in New Orleans; spoken-word performances at Baraka's U.S. residence; the gospel singers arriving in Africa for the first time ("it's good to be home," one says); and Genoud - blind since birth - holding on to N'Dour as these best friends navigate their journey together.
Conversations full of memorable words and what can only be called "genuineness" push "Youssou N'Dour: Return to Gorée" into the realm of unforgettable filmmaking. Says N'Dour at one of the film's crucial moments: "We must remember our history and move forward at the same time. There are more people today in Gorée who are happy than sad. For us, this is a joyful tour, even if we talk about slavery."
