Course leader: Kadialy Kouyate was born in Kolda in the south of Senegal in 1979. He belongs to the great line of Kouyate griots, descendants of Balla Fasseke Kouyate, the first Mandinka diali, who became the official griot in the service of the emperor Sundiate Keita. He was raised by his grandmother, from whom he aquired a great knowledge of songs based on traditional stories, the bedrock of his repertoire. Later he discarded these established forms and developed his own repertoire. He has taught and played kora in the West African Research Centre (WARC) and is currently touring with the African and Caribbean Music Circuit.
