Senegalese kora player Nomoucounda Cissoko weaves together his griot heritage with mbalax, blues, jazz, hip-hop and rock inspired improvisations. Educated at the Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Arts in Dakar, Noumoucounda is a perfectionist with an extraordinary sense of improvisation and adaptation.
His mastery of rhythm and melody make him one of the most gifted musicians of his generation.
He has toured with many renowned artists such as Youssou N'Dour, Ky Many Marley (son of Bob Marley), Ira Colman (bassist for Herbie Hancock), Ernest Ranglin, Alpha Blondy, Omar Pene, Red Rat, Princess Erika, Lara Fabian and MC Solaar. Nomoucounda now brings his dynamic kora playing on a solo tour with his band, playing dates across England and Wales.
