Ousmane Kouyaté established the group Sabary Kagnin in 2023 in an effort to promote Guinean musical culture, he is also the founder of Kobenawati (cultural group aiming to promote African and mainly Guinean culture, dance, singing & traditional music).
Ousmane was born into a griot family in Conakry, he is the son of the famous balafonist Fatoumata Kouyaté also known as Djeliguinet. Ousmane also learnt the balafon from an early age. Sabary Kagnin not only adapts traditional Guinean music and songs but performs original compositions using traditional instruments such as balafons, koras, drums, boté, bolon and krins.
The group will be joining us from France for this one off special performance.
