Aboulaye Koné was born in Côte d’Ivoire and grew up in Burkina Faso, where he learned to play percussion and guitar. Doumdoums, djembes, guitars, and vocals create the gentle sound of his repertoire, allowing the audience to escape. His iconic interpretations of the West African repertoire allowed him to win the Syli d’Or for world music from Productions Nuits d’Afrique in 2009.
