By successfully uniting the traditional and the contemporary, Alpha Yaya Diallo, from Guinea West Africa, has carved a niche for himself in the world music scene.His dexterous acoustic and electric guitar-playing, with its fluid melodic lines and compelling grooves, places him in the front ranks of African axemen. In addition he is a skilled and experienced performer on a variety of percussion instruments, and to complete the abundance of riches Diallo writes his own compositions, and sings with a supple and beautifully modulated voice.
