YAYA DIALLO�S WEST AFRICAN MUSIC
Traditional and Popular Kanza Genres


Yaya Diallo, a native of Mali, West Africa and major custodian of West African music and culture records a diverse range of music on several albums for Onzou Records, http://www.onzou.com .

�Nangap� combines personal expression with traditional rhythms � a gentle and sensitive album of African drumming, balafon and flute music.

�Dounoukan� offers insight into traditional village music at the heart of African society.

�Live at Club Soda� bridges traditional and popular music in a new genre of music emerging in Mali known as KANZA.

On the �LIve at Club Soda� album Yaya Diallo transposes the music to Occidental instruments including saxophone, violin, bass and electric guitars, drumset and voice as well as traditional drums. This music rocks!

Yaya Diallo�s classic 1980 instrumental album �Nangape� reissued in 2002 continues to bring international recognition to his work as a master drummer, musician, teacher, author, composer, dancer, healer, lecturer, storyteller and "Healing Drum Tour" guide to Mali, West Africa.
