Bio
Cheikh Lô's dreadlocks and amulet are a signature look for the Senegal-born musician and drummer. His more than four decades old dreadlocks are evidence of him belonging to Baye Fall, a Senegal Muslim sect. Born Cheikh N'Digel Lô, the artiste started his career as a drummer and joined Volta Jazz, a music band. The group was later disbanded, then he went to work with a transport company. Cheikh Lô would later work with Papa Wemba before recording and releasing his own albums.
