Griots are traveling storytellers who keep the oral African traditions alive. So, it’s not a coincidence that Tiken Jah Fakoly belongs to one of those families. For many years, he has spread all the virtues of african reggae across the globe.

At his concerts, the guitars blend with African traditional instruments such as the kora or the balafon. However, his bias lies in Africa which can be detected in his lyrics and melodies. Singing in Ivory Coast‘s french, Tiken Jah Fakoly fills his music with strong, social and political messages.

He is a man of principle and he proved it to us at Cruïlla Festival 2019, where he got us emotional and danced to all the tunes. Now, we are looking forward to relive the experience on November 6th at Sala Apolo.
