Djeli Moussa Diawara Biography
English: Djeli Moussa Diawara was born to a family of griots in Kankan (Guinea) in 1962. His father is a balafon player, his mother is a backing singer while his half-brother is Mory Kanté. As a singer and a musician, Djeli Moussa has developed a very intimate bond with his 32-stringed kora. He has not wandered too far from traditional rhythms, which never prevented him from using his mandingo instrument for unexpected styles : salsa, flamenco and jazz. Français : Djeli Moussa Diawara est né en 1962 à Kankan (Guinée) dans une famille de griots. Son père est balafoniste, sa mère choriste et son demi-frère n'est autre que Mory Kanté.
