Native of a family of griots known in Dakar, Nana Cissokho learned music by himself and inherited the talent of his father Soundioulou Cissokho, one of the most known masters of Kora. The musician, so-called “griots” perpetuate oral tradition and history of a family, a village, a clan through their songs and poems.
Since 2009, NANA formed his own group: NANA ‘N’ KHO with whom he just released his brand new CD Doumadioulo, which speaks about the heritage of the mandingue tradition, enriched with new and modern sounds. It’s above all a musical adventure, with the the mixture and complicity of cosmopolitan musicians.
The woman’s choir raises and awakens the senses, the atmosphere becomes modern with groovy African rhythms.

The CD “Doumadioulo” captivates through dynamic dialogue which he combined between Kora, Sabar, Bass, Guitar, percussions and vocals.
Real pulsations, impulsions and energy become palpable and communicative.
The destiny of a musician who takes you into a different world.
