Kadialy Kouyate is a musician and songwriter inspired by the West African griot repertoire. Born into the great line of the Kouyate griots in Southern Senegal, Kadialy’s mesmerising kora playing and singing style have been appreciated in many prestigious venues. As both a soloist and in different ensembles he has played at the Royal Festival Hall, the O2 Arena, Union Chapel and WOMAD amongst others.
Since his arrival in the UK in 2005 he has been involved in countless musical projects both as a collaborator and as a session musician, performing with Baaba Maal, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and XFactor winner Lemar, among many others. Kadialy has been teaching the kora at SOAS for many years, and is currently working on new projects, including a duo with Venezuelan harp player Leonard Jacome and his new band, Bedrock.
