N’Faly Kouyaté
Pizza Express Live Holborn, WC1V 6LF , [Venue Details]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 Kouyaté has already toured the world several times with his music. In addition, two Grammy Award nominations, a gold disc and many other awards such as the Songlines Music Awards have crowned his artistic career.
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.
