Along with Malian artist Rokia Traoré, Youssou has been a leading figure in the Association of Professional African Musicians. In Paris in February 2007, they both attended the Afrique Avenir forum to defend the interests of professional musicians and to promote investment in good causes.

When Yoko Ono donated the rights and music publishing royalties to some of John Lennon’s songs so that Amnesty International might encourage a new generation to stand up for human rights, Youssou chose to interpret the track ‘Jealous Guy’. It was one of twenty-eight tracks on a double album entitled Instant Karma: Save Darfur, which included contributions by U2, REM, Snow Patrol, Corinne Bailey Rae, Jackson Browne and Christina Aguilera.
