Part of Bradford's City of Culture programme, her concert will highlight iconic tracks from legends including Miriam Makeba, Fela Kuti and Youssou N'Dour.

This Friday the 63-year-old will be joined on stage by other world-famous artists, namely Senegalese superstar Youssou N'Dour, Grammy-nominated French-Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Malouf, Stonebwoy, one of Ghana's most popular dancehall stars, and Britain's Laura Mvula.

In recent years, Mr. Oelze’s 500-seat performance space has featured a wide range of national and international acts from bluegrass star Ricky Skaggs to contemporary soul singers Raheem DeVaughn and Lalah Hathaway and Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour.

The four-day event culminated Sunday evening at an awards ceremony on the outskirts of Senegal’s capital, Dakar, and included performances from some of Africa’s most popular musicians such as Nigeria’s P-Square and Tiwa Savage, Mali’s Rokia Kone and Senegalese singers, Youssou N’dour and Baaba Maal.

"We know English people. They play strong and attack well. They have a great squad. But Senegal has a chance," former Senegal international Alassane N'Dour told BBC Sport Africa.
