Alpha Yaya Diallo is one of the most inspired and inspirational artists on the World Beat circuit today, performing in French, English and his native Guinean languages of Foulani and Souso. Alpha was discovered in the late 1980’s by Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records when he was lead guitarist for Fatala.
Diallo is a multi-talented artist whose dexterous acoustic and electric guitar-playing, with its fluid melodic lines and compelling grooves, places him in the front ranks of African musicians. While his band, Bafing, features high energy African rhythms, visually stunning dancers and a dynamic percussion section.
