"Alpha Yaya Diallo- is an artist of rare musical ability. This Juno award winner is a composer, band leader and guitarist extraordinaire." - Edmonton Journal

Alpha was discovered in the late 1980's by Peter Gabriel's Real World Records when he was lead guitarist for Fatala. One of the chosen artists to perform at the Cultural Olympiad, Alpha - guitarist, singer, songwriter, is a true multi-cultural Canadian artist performing in French, English and his native Guinean languages of Foulani and Souso. Diallo is a multi-talented artist whose dexterous acoustic and electric guitar-playing, with its fluid melodic lines and compelling grooves, places him in the front ranks of African musicians. While his band, Bafing, features high energy African rhythms and a dynamic percussion section. Alpha's music is also featured on the soundtrack of the Oscar nominated film "District 9".
