ALASSANE BADBOY

From Senegal, now in Italy. 

His music is a proposal of innovative sounds, rooted in the Senegalese

West African culture and influenced from international & pan-African sounds,

such as soul, reggae, afro-pop, afro-rock, funk, salsa.

His band, made of international musicians (Senegal, Italy), the “Conquerors”

have a remarkable music background (Omar Péne, Youssou Ndour,

Maria Siga, Souleymane Faye, Carlou D…).

He is an international artist, already included in International line-ups &

Showcases Festivals, such as the Dakar Music Expo, Stereoafrica, Afrobrix,

Electropark, Sofar Sound and has already toured 3 times

in Italy (Winter ’21, Summer ’22 and 2024) which became the second home

to his project. 

Creative Director of several live concert shows in Senegal, such as Thiakaay.

He gives a strong importance to Wolof songwriting and decolonization of the Senegalese/African storytelling through a fresh

and realistic photography of his reality.

Sufism is a strong element in his creation, so Pan Africanism is;

his inspirations come from great artists and performers such as Aminata Fall,

Youssou N’dour & Baaba Mall, Fela Kuti…

He’s been involved in the Opera Choral of the Italian Embassy

of Dakar with the vocal coach Hadar Halevy De Vito.

This is a radical feature in the vocal interpretation of Alassane

that can vary from a falsetto and sweet tone to a grave and baritone one.
