In the past few years Vancouver, Canada has been home to one of the most exciting and versatile African musicians anywhere, Guinean guitarist Alpha Yaya Diallo. With his intoxicating mix of timeless and contemporary sounds, Diallo’s live performances – whether solo or with his band Bafing – have become legendary. Diallo’s talents are diverse. His dexterous acoustic and electric guitar playing, with its fluid and compelling melodic lines, places him in the front ranks of African axemen. In addition he doubles with skill on balafon (a wooden xylophone) and on percussion.
