Souleymane Diamanka (born in Dakar, Senegal, in 1974) grew up in Bordeaux. His Spoken Word and Rap texts blend the rich imagery of the griots, the singers of West Africa, with the aesthetics of French Modernism since Baudelaire and Rimbaud. Diamanka thus updates the oral tradition of his forefathers, the Fulbe, a shepherd people from the Sahel region. Having grown up bilingual, he experiments with both languages, French and Ful, and the tension between their cultures. He speaks, raps and sings about muses in love, the sorrow of the angels and the voices in his head. Souleymane Diamanka is a showman and a thoughtful language artist at the same time. He weaves a self portrait in words that is as accurate as it is modest: “I am just a poor artist in the service of beauty” he writes in one of his texts. “When I write I use reality as a trampoline.“
