The Senegalese singer and bass virtuoso, was asked by Marcus Miller to record on Miller’s album ‘Afrodeezia’ from 2015 – then you know you’re in for something special! Then again, the super talent had already been headhunted by Ismaël Lô at the age of 18, and then continued to perform and record with almost all the contemporary music legends one could think of: Salif Keita, Oumou Sangaré, Bobby McFerrin, Joe Zawinul, Fatoumata Diawara, Paco Sery…
New album 'Sultan'. Composed and recorded in 2020 and 2021 between Tunis, Paris, New York and Senegal, the album, which gives pride of place to jazz and afrobeat, combines rhythms and sounds from Africa and the Middle East. The tracks take us from Djerba to Istanbul, from Dakar to Baghdad or from Kairouan to the kingdom of Saba, through Arabo-Andalusian or Berber rhythms with Western scales and Eastern maqâms.
