Noumoucounda Cissoko, qu’on surnomme le “MC Griot”, est l’un des musiciens les plus recherchés de la planète en ce qui a trait aux sonorités ouest-africaines ; l’un des plus versatiles et créatifs de sa génération. Il a fait le tour du monde avec les plus grands: de Positive Black Soul, les précurseurs du hip hop sénégalais, dont il a été un membre incontestable pendant une vingtaine d’années, à Youssou N’Dour, MC Solaar, Ky Mani Marley, Omar Pène, Iam, Lara Fabian, Stromae et bien d’autres. Joueur de kora et percussionniste aguerri, le griot “héros discret de la musique sénégalaise” (Africultures, 2013) a fait ses classes avec l’Orchestre national du Sénégal et a perfectionné sa pratique tout au long de sa carrière, prenant avec bonheur les chemins de traverses et l’adaptant à des musiques modernes comme le mbalax, l’afrorap, le dancehall, l’afro-reggae, la rumba, l’afro-jazz, l’afrobeat, le wassoulou, le blues, le rock, la pop, l’afro-zouk.

Noumoucounda Cissoko, also known as MC Griot, is one of the most versatile and creative musicians of his generation, making him one of the most sought-after artists in the West African music scene. He has toured the globe with some of the biggest names, from the trailblazing Senegalese hip hop group Positive Black Soul, of which he was a key member for some twenty years, to Youssou N’Dour, MC Solaar, Ky-Mani Marley, Omar Pène, IAM, Lara Fabian, Stromae and many others. Griot, seasoned percussionist and kora player, the “discreet hero of Senegalese music” (Africultures, 2013) trained with the Orchestre national du Sénégal and has continuously honed his technique throughout his career, while enjoying exploring different musical paths along the way as well as adapting to modern genres such as mbalax, afrorap, dancehall, afro-reggae, rumba, afro jazz, afrobeat, wassoulou, blues, rock, pop and afro-zouk.
