Kanazoé, born in Burkina Faso, is recognized by his peers across Africa Mandingo as the young genius of balafon for its technical prowess, his creativity and musicality! Multi-instrumentalist, he plays several balafons and the "kamelen ngoni" a pentatonic harp. He sings in Dioula language. The virtuosity of the artist and the festive energy are the two cornerstones of this project. Kanazoé and his musicians offer us a dancing music both, muscular and moving
With the second album Tolon So (march 2019), Kanazoé Orkestra stands out as one of the pillars of West African music because of its committed lyrics and its irresistibly danceable music.
A bridge between ancestral tradition and actual sounds !
