"From 1983 to 1990, Ousmane was Touri Kunda's lead singer. The band,
at the height of its fame, was filling up concert halls and stadiums
all around the world, producing musical hits and winning gold records
such as the famous live album "Paris-Zinguinchor" (over 200 000 copies
sold).

An accomplished author, composer and musician, Ousmane kept meeting
with new talents. He went on a US tour with Manu Dibango, which
inspired him to co-write "Africa Bamba", which became an international
hit when it was performed by Carlos Santana and sold 18 million
copies.

In 2000, he went back to his roots and recorded "Lolo" in Dakar, an
acoustic album which sold 80 000 copies in Western Africa. Having
moved back to France, Ousmane is releasing "Avenue du Monde", an album
which expresses the plenitude of his adulthood. This album was
recorded with amazingly talented musicians who fully support his
wonderful voice."

Bests,
Phil Ballman
