Event Details

Unique blend of traditional and modern Senegalese music

Zale Seck,  internationally recognised multitalented musician,  is back in Sydney, along with the sensational guitarist, Assane Seck.  Originally from Senegal, now based in Montreal, Zale and Assane will be sharing their unique blend of traditional and modern Senegalese music.  A master drummer, singer, guitarist and storyteller, Zale was born into a griot family in Senegal. His role in life is historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet and musician. Singing, percussion and guitar is all part of a griot’s life and he is recognised  as  a guru of the Senegalese musical scene since the 1980’s.  He has played with international greats such as  L’Étoile 2000 de Dakar and the legendary Orchestra Baobab.

Zale's own particular style, mbalax dagou, is inspired from mbalax, the popular music of Sénégal. His success crossed borders over Senegalese borders and he toured extensively throughout Europe as an independent artist.  Zale and Assane together will delight you with their superb vocals , rhythms and musicianship!  Zale and Assane  will be joined this evening by Yacou Mbaye, Sydney based master percussionist from Senegal, as well as  a line-up of master local  musicians. This night will be a musical experience guaranteed to inspire and please!
