Fallou Dieng is part of a younger generation singers in Senegal, after the generation of successful international stars like Youssou N'Dour and Baaba Maal. Fallou Dieng started singer around 1990. His popularity in Senegal rose quickly to high levels and scored big hits such as « Koleure ». His music is full of energy, and his voice, although not with the range of Youssou N'Dour, is capable of reflecting the lyrics of his songs. The style is predominantly mbalax, with its pumping polyrhythms and percussive drive.

In order to seek for international audiences, two CDs with songs from the nineties were issued in 2000 and 2001, and his latest album « Bouko Bayi » (2003) has also been released on the international market.
