Bass player, singer and composer, Moussa Diallo, was born in Paris, brought up in Bamako (Mali) and currently residing in Copenhagen.
Throughout the 1970s and the 1980s Moussa Diallo set fire to prominent Danish rock/fusion bands like Sneakers, Skunk Funk, Savage Rose, Hanne Boel and many others. He was also the leading rhythmical force when famed singer Anne Linnet formed her revolutionary band Marquis de Sade in 1983.
During recent years Moussa Diallo has concentrated more on performing and recording his own compositions with a stronger focus on the African sounds. He has brought together some of the very best West African artists currently living in Denmark with some of the country’s top musicians launching "The Kinkéliba Project".
August 28th is the release date for two new CD's from Moussa Diallo. Acoustic Groove is the new CD with Moussa Diallo Quartet featuring new songs and a few old ones in new recordings. The CD is released for distribution in Denmark, France and UK. Out Of Tune is Moussa's side-project with songs in English recorded with horns, backing vocals and all that jazz.

Merci pour l'ajout Moussa... beau travail de votre côté ! La vie d'un homme est faite de rêves qui s'enchainent et écrivent notre histoire pour nos enfants, qui eux, commencent déjà à écrire la leur sans qu'on s'en rends bien compte à trop les protéger... J'ai décidé de continuer à écrire la mienne telle que je l'avais toujours imaginée depuis ma plus tendre enfance... il ne faut pas arrêter le scénario en route.. il faut y croire pour que les étoiles qui nous éclairent ne s'éteignent pas, et continuent à faire rêver le monde entier, en nous inspirant les plus beaux moments de chaque vies ... j'ai écrit une suite à mon rêve...: "Melody for an Oscar"... et je suis persuadé qu'un jour ou l'autre il y aura quelqu'un pour m'aider à décrocher cet Oscar à Hollywood auquel je rêve depuis toujours... sinon, pourquoi est-ce que mon étoile m'aiderait-elle à composer d'aussi belles mélodies ? Amitiés,
