Andra Kouyate

Born: 1973

Andra Kouyate has invented, designed and built a new instrument; the bass ngoni, sort of an African contrabass. This invention has permitted him to develop a new way of playing, quite different from the more usual traditional ngoni. He is gifted with exceptional playing skills on both musical and rythmical level. Tapping deep into traditional manding sources he is a complete master on the ngoni, bass ngoni and the tama.

Through his impressive creativity Andra Kouyate shows us how traditional instruments can be used without any limitations in very different musical styles. His approach to music, his sensitivity and charism and also his power and playing technic make him a real virtuoso multi- instrumentalist.
