Bio

Moussa Doumbia was a Malian saxophonist, arranger, and author/composer who drew inspiration from African American funk in the 1970s. His music was an audacious blend of funk and African rhythms that he sang mostly in Dioula, his native language. As a disciplined professional, Doumbia gained his footing in the industry with the help of French-American producers Cathy and Albert Loudes. His music was groundbreaking in West Africa, but unfortunately, it didn't gain popularity until the late 1990s, long after his death.
