Sadoo, originally from France and Lamine Kouyaté, originally from Senegal, have been musicians for a long time now and have been making music separately for years. Sadoo has already released two albums ( Reality ,Samawoy) .Lamine Kouyaté is a Griot and a famous Kora player for the Sorano Ballet (Natinoal ballet )in Senegal.
Sadoo and Lamine met in Senegal while Sadoo was working in a recording Studio in 2002. It appeared that Sadoo and Lamine had similar views and thoughts about life and music, a common philosophy and a common goal. They would both like to share their art with people but most of all they would like to help the African continent however they can. So Sadoo & Lamine decided to work together on a project called “Silaba”. Silaba means the long African road.
As it is really difficult to find funding in Africa, Sadoo decided to come back to France to raise some funds in order to record an album with Lamine in Senegal. This solution worked well as in December 2003, after a lot of work and effort, Sadoo won a prize from the French ministry for Sport and Youth and went back to Senegal to record the album “Silaba”.
Silaba is a new and natural type of music, a return to the roots of so called African musics (reggae,afro folk, zouk, hip hop) with a modern sound where two different, but complimentary, voices meet. In addition to Sadoo and Lamine’s wondrous vocals you will hear on this album the sound of the Kora, drums, balafon, xaram, guitar, & bass.
After the recording of Silaba, the two artists were invited to play live for Dakar FM (National radio in Senegal). They were also invited to play at the Festival of World Cultures in Dun Laoghaire (August 2005).
Since 2005, Silaba has been touring in Senegal mainly while Sadoo promotes their music in France, Ireland and Portugal. Silaba was invited last year in Ireland to promote the African music with Irish Children in cooperation with Dublin City Council.
