Daby Touré

The gifted Mauritanian Senegalese Daby Touré takes a fresh look at Africa. A true citizen of the world who refuses to be confined to traditional music, Daby Touré gives free rein to his taste for pop, folk, soul, reggae, jazz and blues.

Daby Touré shapes a catchy, poetic musical landscape. Unclassifiable and universal. Being an African musician does not mean playing the kora or djembe in the pious respect of traditions. For decades now, from Dakar to Johannesburg, we have embraced global modernity and opened our ears wide to world sounds; we listen to Western music, and we practice all sorts of instrumental fusions. Still, of course, we hold the musical baggage of the ancestors in our DNA.

This explosive mix is personified by Daby Touré, a perpetual nomad and sound researcher.

His famous tradition/modernity fusion is far from cliché. It's simple: by listening to it, we are both at home and away from home! In any case, it’s not “world music”, insists Daby. " I make pop, that is to say music that has no borders. " It’s now time for Daby Touré to write the next chapter of his artistic journey with a new album in 2026.
