Guitarist and singer Alpha Yaya Diallo, from Guinea in West Africa, is one of the hottest acts on the world music scene. Now based in Canada, he’s earned a matchless reputation for the excellence of his musicianship and the excitement of his live shows – whether performing solo or with his band Bafing. Diallo is a multi-talented artist.
Both his debut Nene [1993] – on which Diallo plays all the instruments – and Futur [1996] were nominated for JUNO Awards – the Canadian music industry’s highest accolade. In addition, Futur bagged the Music Africa Award for National Recording of the Year. Diallo’s The Message [1998] distributed Internationally by BMG, took the coveted JUNO in 1999 for Best Global Recording. The Journey [2002] took another for Best Global Recording, and Best World Independent. Over time he’s earned more Canadian awards than he can count.
