N'Faly Kouyate's new album is very much a product of the global village. The singer, kora and balafon player from Guinea has had exposure to western audiences through his work with Afro Celt Sound System, and has now produced a dance-tinged album of some verve, in collaboration with Pete Ardron and Sandra Werner…a hugely enjoyable album, which brings traditional textures to bear over some very proficient programming.
Fatea
N’Faly Kouyaté is a world renowned Griot master musician and multi-instrumentalist, best known as a core member of Afro Celt Sound System, and as the “Jimi Hendrix of the Kora!” N’Faly’s solo project pioneers a new style, Afrotronix: a mixture of polyphony and electronic music in symbiosis with traditional instruments.
The strength of N’Faly Kouyaté is that he is as diversified in his creations and achievements as his talent as a multi – instrumentalist. Growing up with a very traditional and rigorous Guinean musical education, trained at the conservatory in his second homeland, Belgium, he became an outstanding and well respected artist. Collaborations with artists like Peter Gabriel, William Kentridge, Phil Manzanera and Ray Phiri, together with a plethora of influences from Aretha Franklin to Harry Belafonte, led him to forge his path to the Afrotronix style that N’faly has innovated.
In 2025, he returns with his full album “FINISHING” — the culmination of years of rich experiences and artistic collaborations from every corner of the globe. As Peter Gabriel so rightly observed, N’Faly is poised to leave an indelible mark upon his era. Together with his ensemble of gifted musicians, N’Faly Kouyaté invites you to a unique musical odyssey: songs that stir the soul, inspire reflection, elicit smiles, and set bodies moving. A fresh breath of musical innovation, a voice both heartfelt and commanding, an energy rare and vital — his music is like no other, and can only be truly embraced through the magic of live performance.
RÉ-GÉNÉRATION has begun.
