Senegalese-American artist Akon is a five-time Grammy nominee who has sold over 35 million records worldwide and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in popular music, such as Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga and David Guetta.

The musician, songwriter, and producer, who was born in the US but spent much of his childhood in Senegal, is also an activist and a philanthropist - and he has turned his sights on helping Africa.

How many African-Americans do you know actually consider Africa as a vacation spot? Not one... Even just for knowledge, just to know where they came from, just to get an idea of what that is; there is so much fear instilled in them that they wouldn't even want to go there to visit. You mention Africa, they start shaking.

Akon

His current ambitious project, "Akon Lighting Africa," is working to bring solar-powered electricity to Africans in 49 countries by the end of 2020.

Akon is also an ambassador for the non-profit organisation Peace One Day. Last year, he and actor Jude Law brought their celebrity power to Goma to a concert to promote peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

But Akon has also caused controversy through his performance style and his lyrics.

Akon talks to Al Jazeera about running his musical career as a business; his projects - both philanthropic and artistic; singing songs for peace and whether he thinks it can really make an impact; and being an African in the US.

Syliphone
Au lendemain de la décolonisation de la Guinée, le nouveau président Sékou Touré s'affirme comme le promoteur d'une réhabilitation de l'authenticité africaine face au déni colonial des cultures colonisées. Dans une perspective d'unité nationale et panafricaine, les artistes obtiennent le statut de fonctionnaire d'état et sont encouragés par le gouvernement à composer et écrire de nouvelles chansons dans un style plus moderne tout en puisant dans le répertoire des récits historiques et des musiques ancestrales de l'aire Mandingue. Le fer de lance de cette politique n'était autre qu'un label d'état, le label Syliphone, dont les enregistrements sont de formidables témoignages du dynamisme et des richesses culturelles d'un peuple à l'aube de son indépendance qui porte au monde la voix de sa révolution.

► Bembeya Jazz National
Le Bembeya Jazz National, mosaïque des traditions guinéennes, est fondé en 1961. En gagnant aux deux premières biennales (1964 et 1966), cet orchestre, issu des groupes régionaux, est invité en tournée à Cuba et promu orchestre national en 1966. Modèle de tous les orchestres ouest-africains, il s'inspirait de la musique Mandingue réadaptée aux guitares électriques avec des rythmes évoquant la rumba zaïroise et les orchestres cubains soutenus par une section de cuivres. Son rôle est de jouer tous les rythmes du pays. Un de ses membres historiques Achken Kaba, s'en explique ainsi : "la Guinée est musicalement un résumé de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, et même au-delà. Dans le Fouta, la flûte et la vièle des Peul font le lien avec le monde arabe. Sur la Basse-Côte, on retrouve les mêmes danses qu'au Libéria ou dans le sud de la Côte d'Ivoire et du Ghana, et jusqu'au Nigeria. Les Guinéens forestiers ont une alimentation, une corpulence et une culture qui les rapprochent même des Congolais."
Dans sa longue épopée jusque dans les années 90, le Bembeya a vu défiler de nombreux grands musiciens parmi lesquels son fondateur et chanteur légendaire Aboubacar Demba Camara, accompagné du guitariste non moins légendaire Sékou "Bembeya" Diabaté "Diamond fingers", puis plus tard notamment du jeune chanteur et futur star Sékouba Bambino qui est à l'honneur dans le Volume 2 : "Bembeya Jazz : Les années 80".

Black holes are gravitational behemoths that dramatically twist space and time. Recently, they’ve also pointed researchers to a remarkable proposal—that everything we see may be akin to a hologram. Alan Alda joins Kip Thorne, Robbert Dijkgraaf and other renowned researchers on an odyssey through one of nature’s most spectacular creations, and learn how they are leading scientists to rewrite the rules of reality.

The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.
