Nazolin, Sebastiano.See Nasolini, Sebastiano. NCB[Nordisk Copyright Bureau]. See Copyright, §VI (under Denmark). N'Dour, Youssou(b Dakar, 1959 ). Senegalese musician. A Wolof singer with a remarkably flexible voice and a wide range, Youssou N'Dour began singing with Sine Dramatic at the age of 12, and by the age of 15 he was a star, singing with Super Diamono. Several years later he joined the Star Band in Dakar. N'Dour formed Étoile de Dakar in 1979, a group that went on to tour Europe before reforming as Super Étoile de Dakar in 1981. In 1983 he opened his own club in Dakar, the Thiosanne, a venue he used to perfect his craft. He is perhaps the best known performer of Mbalax, a distinctive Senegalese music based on the rhythm produced on the mbung mbung drum. His home concerts appeal greatly to elegantly dressed Wolof women who perform the ventilateur dance during concerts in which they expose their legs, dancing wildly in their floor-length boubous. N'Dour toured the world as part of the ‘Human Rights Now!’ 1988 tour. He owns and operates a recording studio and record label in Dakar, promoting local talent.

BARZ Ndubuisi, Okechukwu(b Ozu-Idem, 6 July 1936). Nigerian composer. A member of the Igbo people, he received early training in music and co-founded the Enugu Operatic Society in 1960. In 1961 Ndubuisi began composition studies with Wishart at the Guildhall School of Music, then returned to teach at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The folksongs which he collected from different ethnic groups became the basis of his arrangements for voices and small ensemble, most of which are sung in their original languages. His approach to harmony, melody and rhythm reflect both indigenous practices and his background in jazz bands. The influences of Vaughan Williams and Ivor Gurney are prominent in Ndubuisi's original works, while his percussive approach to the piano displays his endorsement of Akin Euba's concept of ‘African pianism’.

DANIEL AVORGBEDOR NEA.See National Endowment for the Arts. Neaga, Gheorghe(b Bucharest, 19 March 1922). Moldovan composer, son of Stefan Neaga. He studied the violin at the Bucharest Academy of Music with Constantin Nottara (1937–40) and then with B. Kuznetsov at the Moscow Conservatory (graduating in 1948) where he also undertook postgraduate studies (1949–52). He later studied composition with Gurov and then Leyb at the Kishinev Conservatory (1953–8) where he subsequently taught the violin and was later appointed professor of string studies. He has received a number of official awards including the State Prize for the Arts (1967) for his Second Symphony and Honoured Representative of the Arts of the Moldavian SSR (1979). As a composer, he is drawn to chamber genres and works for stringed instruments unsurprisingly dominate his output. Although he does not use actual folk melodies, his language has its roots in Moldovan folklore as many themes in his Second Symphony demonstrate. Neo-classicism is often combined with Impressionist and folkloristic techniques – as in the Quartet for flute, violin, cello and piano (1984) – while ironic paradox, polystylism and collage are features of many other works, such as the Piano Trio (1976). He is particularly attracted to suite forms which provide opportunities for juxtaposing varied and contrasting material. WORKS(selective list)
