SAHAD
“One of the musical discoveries was Sahad and The Nataal Patchwork, a young group from Dakar, Senegal. This dynamic group mixes many styles: Senegalese mbalax, Malian desert blues, Afrobeat, Cuban music, rock and jazz. The sinuous voice Sahad is supported by six musicians, including two excellent ventistes.”
SAHAD
Enthusiastic Spirit, driving Beats & sophisticated Melodies!
With a panorama of West African rhythms, Sahad celebrates the cosmopolitan richness of current African music. Sahad is like a bush taxi that travels around the world looking for the richness of our differences to share a message of love and tolerance.
From afro to jazz, from blues to folk and funk, all his African and cosmic influences have been reappropriated, giving birth to a kaleidoscopic music.
