Videos, live performances, interviews from Guinean artist N'Deye who mixes her native mandingo music with hip hop and pop
About Me:
Reprenant a son compte la technique hip-hop du sampling (en plus de la musique traditionnelle mandingue, N'Deye a grandi en ecoutant la Motown chere a son pere ainsi qu'une grande quantite de hip-hop commercial ou "hardcore"), l'album "Les Maitres de la Parole" redonnait vie a une pop mandingue initiee par Sekou Bembeya Diabate et le Bembeya Jazz National dans les annees 60.
Cela la mene aujourd'hui a s'approprier un "hip-pop" urbain aux accents africains tres particulier.
Avec un talent certain de paroliere, en francais ou en anglais, elle ecrit des textes influences aussi bien par la conscience politique de Lauryn Hill,les acrobaties rhymees de Beyonce que par la poesie et le talent de conteuse de Barbara.
De ses annees comme mannequin elle a tire un sens de l'image tres fort et un univers visuel a la puissance evocatrice.
N'Deye, en digne heritiere des Amazones de Guinee, ouvre de nouveaux horizons a la musique Africaine.
Since 2 years now, date of her first album release on the Guinean market, the experimental "Les Maitres de la Parole" ("The masters of words"), tribute to her childhood's "griots", N'Deye is considered as the link between old and new generations of Guinean music.
Using hip-hop's sampling technique (on top of traditional mandingo music, N'Deye grew up listening to her father's Motown records and lots of mainstream as well as hardcore hip-hop), "Les Maitres de la parole" refreshed the mandingo pop that Sekou Bembeya Diabate and his Bembeya Jazz National made popular in the 60's.
It led her to a very unique brand of "hip-pop", urban and yet with strong african accents.
With a gift for songwriting,she writes lyrics in both english and french that remind us of Lauryn Hill's politically conscious songs, Beyonce's intricate and playful wording and french singer's Barbara's poetic and storytelling style.
Years of modeling have given her an image with a strong appeal both on and off stage.
N'Deye, heiress to the famed Amazones of Guinea, opens new horizons for African music.

Then select "upload" and the rest is as usual.
I'll go through them properly later, but would you be interested in doing a video response to one of my videos? :D
Thank you for the invitation.
