Senegalese musician Diabel Cissokho comes from a well known griot family originating from Mali.
Surrounded by a rich musical heritage and a family of musicians, he began
playing the kora at the age of nine.
Growing up in Dakar he played in his family's band playing many traditional
instruments. However his talent for playing the kora was clear.
For two - three years he was the kora player for the internationally renowned Baba Maal and has supported and played with numerous other artists in concert venues and festivals across the world. These include; Nuru Kane, Daby Balde, Abdou Diop, Kandia Kouyate and Mama Draba. He was also part of a special concert at the Barbican in London, performing alongside Femi Kuti and his band, Cheikh Lo and Manu Dibango.
Diabel's virtuosic talent, as well as his expressiveness and sensitivity when
playing has brought him much respect amongst his fellow musicians, who cross many genres of music from traditional African, to jazz and Afro-beat.
Currently he is working on his own material in which he fuses his love of traditional and world music,
taking inspiration from his heritage and from his faith in Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Bamke (Mouride).

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D ~ Dee ~
