A giant of African music. And the voice of Cheikh Lô is unique, cosmopolitan, graceful, slender and high-pitched, pulsating irregularly. Cheikh Lô has forty years of music in his dreadlocks. He started out as a drummer. “From Bobo Dioulasso to Dakar”, summarises the chilled-out guy.
With his trademark dreadlocks, colourful robes and seductive songs, Cheikh Lô is one of the great mavericks of African music – a superb singer and songwriter as well as a guitarist, percussionist and drummer.
