N`Faly Kouyate and Dunyakan

Discography
‘Tunya’, to be released on is the second album by Guinean kora and balafon player/singer/composer and former Afro Celt Soundsystem member N´Faly Kouyaté and follows his 2004 debut ‘Kora Grooves’, both recorded with his band Dunyakan (‘the Voice of the World’).
N’Faly was born into one of the most celebrated families of griots of the Manding people (among the largest ethnic groups in West Africa); his father was Konkoba Kabinet Kouyate. Despite being traditionally trained from an early age, and also performing with the University Troupe of Conakry, N’Faly has been open to such Western music as Rock, Hip-Hop, Jazz and Classical.
