Event Details
Fulani music from Burkina Faso combines song, n’goni and rhythm to tell the epic story of Fulani life and culture. The deep melodies of the n’goni (a plucked string instrument originally from West Africa) evoke the vast plains and stories handed down from generation to generation, while the percussion adds an earthly dimension to this celestial music, inviting us to dance and celebrate.
Dicko Fils (Moulaye Dicko) is a musician from Burkina Faso of Fulani origin. A master of the kamale n’goni, he has made a name for himself with his melodious voice and virtuoso playing, fusing the Fulani and Mandingo traditions. After studying the Koran in Mali, he moved to Abidjan, where he discovered reggae, before founding his group Le Faso Kanou in 1992. His first album, Tounga (2005), marked the start of a prolific career with regular releases until 2016. His song Denke Denke became an anthem in West African clubs. In 2016, he won the Kundé d’Or, Burkina Faso’s highest musical award, as well as several other prizes, including Best Modern Traditionally Inspired Song with Wakati. In March 2025, he released his 12th album, La Route, recorded between Burkina Faso and Montreal. This opus blends Afrobeat, Mandingo blues and messages of peace, love and living together.
