Balafon player Djiby Diabaté and jazz pianist Claude Diallo combine African rhythms with jazz to create energetic, danceable live music.

Senegalese balafon player Djiby Diabaté performs all over the world and met Swiss jazz pianist Claude Diallo at the St. Louis Jazz Festival in Senegal in 2023. The interplay of balafon and grand piano delighted audiences and critics alike and combines African musical traditions with Western jazz. Together with Gabriel Meyer (electric bass) and Emmanuelé Reiderer (drums & percussion), they form a unique ensemble that captivates with pulsating rhythms, virtuoso improvisation and jazzy sounds. The formation is complemented by Aminata Khass (vocals). The music is danceable, energetic and inspires a cosmopolitan audience of all ages.
