abdou 2.jpg

Originaire de Guinée Conakry, Abdoulaye fait partie des castes de griots mandingues.
Au pays, dés son plus jeune âge, il s'initie a la guitare et a la kora avec son pere Sékou Kouyaté, griot respecté, musicien et chef d’orchestre de Miriam Makeba.
En l'accompagnant, Abdoulaye rencontre les grands musiciens du pays, tels que Momo Wandel, Sekouba Bambino, Manfila Kanté, Doura Barry, qui influenceront son style musical.

 

Pendant 8 ans, il parcourt le monde avec la troupe Circus Baobab, premier cirque d'Afrique de l'Ouest.

 

A partir de 2008, il joue dans les festivals internationaux avec le groupe Ba Cissoko, et travaille avec de nombreux musiciens tels que Patrick Ruffino, Maciré Sylla, Mariama, Moh Kouyaté, Djeli Moussa Condé, Jain, etc.

 

En 2016, il rejoint le projet Rio Mandingue qui réunit la musique carioca et le pays mandingue. Cette fusion musicale se poursuit aujourd'hui avec le Trio Colibri, qui propose une musique onirique combinant guitare brésilienne à 7 cordes, kora et percussion.


Musicien versatile, toujours à la recherche de la beauté du son, Abdoulaye se nourrit du répertoire traditionnel mandingue et d'influences diverses comme le jazz ou le funk pour créer son propre style.

When it’s really madness Why do we call it love ? When all that it leads to is sadness Why do we call it love ? When we don’t even know what we’re handeling Why do we call it love ? When all we do is rambling and gambling Well I guess the joke’s on me You’re not to blame We shoudn’t play without knowing The name of the game I guess the joke’s on me You’re not to blame I shoudn’t play without knowing The name of the game Oh the joke’s on me You’re not to blame How could I play without knowing The name of the game I guess the joke’s on me You’re not to blame We shoudn’t play without knowing The name of the game It wasn’t love We thought it was But it wasn’t love Just a silly game we played It wasn’t love We thought it was But it wasn’t love Just a silly game we played It wasn’t love We thought it was But it wasn’t love Just a childish game with no name 2015 - P & © MARIAMA / HUGUES ANHÈS - All rights reserved
