Alpha Yaya Diallo & Friends CD Release Concert

JUNO Award Winning guitarist and singer Alpha Yaya Diallo, from Guinea in West Africa, is one of the most inspired and inspirational world music artists performing anywhere. His dexterous acoustic and electric guitar-playing, with its fluid melodic lines and compelling grooves, places him in the front ranks of African axemen. He is one of the hottest acts in World Music today,  earning a matchless reputation internationally for the excellence of his musicianship and the excitement of his live shows.

Diallo is a uniquely multi-talented artist, a skilled and experienced performer on a variety of percussion instruments, and on the balafon (traditional wooden xylphone). To complete the abundance of riches Diallo writes his own compositions, and sings with a supple and beautifully modulated voice.  By successfully uniting the traditional and the contemporary, Diallo has carved a niche for himself beside such West African luminaries as Salif Keita, Baaba Maal, Youssou N’Dour, and Ismael Lo.

This is guaranteed to be an incredible evening of world music you don’t want to miss! It’s also a celebration, the launch of Alpha’s new album!  It’s also a musical celebration of the official release of Alpha’s new CD!   For this special concert Alpha will be joined by Naby Camara, Kona Aboubacar and Etienne Magala.
