Askia Modibo has come a long way before playing reggae:
born in a songhai family, living in a bambara area, he started with traditional bambara songs
when he accompanied the herds. His first musical appearance was with the Super
Tentemba, an offshoot of the Ambassadeurs. Later, he went to Côte d'Ivoire
and played with Alpha Blondy. By 1988, he released his first cassette and since, he recorded several cassettes, using his real name Modibo Koné when playing mandingo music, and using his artist's name Askia Modibo when playing his wass-reggae (wassoulou-reggae). With Ibrahima Sylla, he recorded Wass Reggae, together with his band Tjiladeh, the only album thusfar that has reached international release. Born: as Modibo Koné, 1968, in Ké-Macina Style: reggae. |  |
