Kanazoé Orkestra

Kanazoé Orkestra, led by Burkinabé balafon virtuoso Seydou “Kanazoé” Diabaté, blends ancestral balafon traditions with contemporary African urban rhythms. Joined by multi-instrumentalist Mamadou Dembélé and the golden voice of Losso Keïta, the group creates music where trance, dance, and heritage converge. Their fourth album, Balabeatz, explores afrobeats, amapiano, afro-trap, and afro-drill while honoring Sambla roots. With modern production by Martin Etienne, Laurent Planells, and Emilio Rudoy, Kanazoé Orkestra continually reinvents African tradition for the global stage.
