Élage Diouf

  • Marigold Cultural Centre 605 Prince Street Truro, NS, B2N 1G2 Canada (map)

$38


Master percussionist, author, composer and performer of Senegalese origin Élage Diouf moved to Canada in 1996, to pursue a musical career that continues to flourish today.

His music, a hybrid of pop, world, blues, folk and asiko, is at the artistic crossroads of artists such as Carlinhos Brown, Peter Gabriel and Andres Cepeda. Due to the musicality of the language, he sings mainly in Wolof, his mother tongue.

Sincere in his artistic approach, charismatic, authentic and simple, both in real life and in public, people love him, and above all, he loves people. His performances are noted for his ability to engage the audience, by dancing, singing, both in the room and those he invites on stage with him. His unique and warm voice, combined with his diverse influences, make him a unique artist.
