Frank Bessem's Musiques d'Afrique: Tidiane & le Dieuf Dieul (Senegal) |
retour aux Musiques d'Afrique Back to Musiques d'Afrique Back to Musiques du Senegal |
Dieuf Dieul is a product of a merger between two Senegalese
bands, Takku and Symphonie. With lead singer Tidiane Gaye,
they are part of the promising new generation of musicians in Senegal following
the generation of famous singers such as Youssou N'Dour,
Baaba Maal or
Thione Seck. Although initially inspired by classical music, they now turned towards mbalax music. To witness their musical experience, Tidiane et les Dieuf Dieul recorded three songs with Sénémandingue, and with jazz musicians David Murray, Robert Irving, and Jamaaladeen Tacuma in 1996. The album Salimata is their first international CD release and has been well received by critics. |
