"Diallo writes and plays intoxicating music steeped in the rhythms of his homeland."
~ Words & Music Magazine (SOCAN)
Three-time Juno Award winning guitarist Alpha Yaya Diallo is one of the hottest acts on the current world music scene. Originally hailing from Guinea in West Africa, the Vancouver-based artist has earned a matchless reputation internationally for the excellence of his musicianship and the excitement of his live shows.
His dexterous acoustic and electric guitar-playing, with its fluid melodic lines and compelling grooves, places him in the front ranks of African axemen. Add his supple and beautifully modulated voice and Diallo is truly a uniquely multi-talented artist.
In addition to his Juno Awards and multiple nominations, Alpha Yaya Diallo has received worldwide recognition including winning Music Africa's Award for National Recording of the Year and the Pacific Music Industry Award for Best World Music Album.
