Boubacar Cissokho

BIO

Boubacar Cissokho is an up-and-coming Senegalese kora player, an instrument he has been playing since the age of 13. A griot born in Marssassoum, Casamance, he is the son of Niama Konte and Lankandia Cissokho, a great kora player and conductor of the Daniel-Sorano National Theater Orchestra in Dakar. But Boubacar is also the young virtuoso
cousin of Ballaké Sissoko, and it is with him, an internationally recognized master of the genre, that in Mali, a country he also has roots in, he studied the kora for 7 years. There, he also had the chance to rub shoulders with the great Toumani Diabaté, alongside whom he played his first concert in 2007.
Following other experiences in Burkina Faso and Guinea, Boubacar returned to Senegal after his apprenticeship.
In 2012, he started to collaborate with Yann Tambour and his band Stranded Horse, with whom he has been touring since, and played on the album ‘Luxe’, released by Talitres in 2016. He may be young, but Boubacar is already one of the great ambassadors of Senegal’s Mandingo music.
