KADIALY KOUYATE & BEDROCK

Formed by an eclectic group of musicians, Bedrock is a new fusion of personalities, inspirations and musical styles. Based around Kadialy Kouyate’s compositions, the musicians bring their own touch to the original melodies, transforming the music into a brand new genre. From griot influences to spoken word, Caribbean beats to lyrical piano solos, there is always a surprise around the corner.

Meet Nahmi Moon, the pianist who rocks out with African and Nepalese bands; Cassandre Balbar, the piper and recorder player who invokes Vivaldi wherever possible; Giulano Osella, the irrepressible drummer who never rests; Micheal Searl the barefoot bassist who taught himself playing along to 90s West African Gospel videos; and last but not least, Kadialy Kouyate, the sensitive Kora player who learned his ancestral griot art from his father and his grandfather.

Together they form Bedrock, a new foundation for improvisation, communication and freedom.....
