Moh! Kouyaté

Moh Kouyaté is a Guinean singer, guitarist and griot rooted in the Manding tradition and driven by a powerful contemporary vision. Born into a family of jelis (griots), he learned balafon and guitar at an early age before forging a unique musical language blending West African heritage, blues, rock and jazz.

Based in Paris since the mid-2000s, Moh has collaborated with artists such as Corey Harris, Fatoumata Diawara and Ba Cissoko, and has performed on major international stages (WOMAD, Womex, Banlieues Bleues, Musiques Métisses, New Morning…). His music, sung in Mandinka, Soussou, French and English, carries strong messages of peace, solidarity and humanity. His upcoming all-acoustic album Mokhoya (“Humanity”) continues this deeply human and universal journey.
