Well known to Montreal audiences, this musical marvel’s latest projects have led him to reconnect with his roots. First there was the show he put on with his cousins at the famous New Morning in Paris in late 2023, a heartfelt tribute to their fathers, who founded Touré Kunda, the legendary band that helped to propel modern West African music onto the international stage. Then, in 2024, there was the Artist Residency in the Futa, on the banks of the Senegal River, where he grew up in proximity to the pink sand dunes. From there, he released the single “Leki” in collaboration with young musicians from the region. More than ever, through his folk sound, as soft, warm and rebellious as the desert wind, he casts his gaze on West African musical traditions, infusing them with blues, jazz, pop, reggae, funk and soul.
