Soumaïla Kanoute alias « Soumissi » is a famous singer in Mali, whose
reputation now exceeds the boundaries of his country. Native of Kita (Kayes region of Mali), he has two albums to his credit. In Mali, he is nicknamed the « the favorite of the women » and
as a funny synchronicity, he has the same voice tone as Sekouba
« Bambino » Diabaté, his reference. He was nominated as the best artist from Mali in 2009, at the « Golden Tamani », the equivalent of « Golden Djembe » in Guinea.
« My concern is to conquer the records market of Guinea, I love this country. This is my first time coming to this
country for a concert , but it was my wish. I am inspired by Guinean music, my reference is Bambino », he said, before his concert Feb. 27, 2010 at http://infoguinee.com. website.
In 2004 he recorded a solo album « Malô kini Najima » which met a great success in Mali, but that has not been
published in Europe, at least I am not aware of that issue.
In 2006, « Soumissi » became the leader vocalist of Symmetric Orchestra Band of
Toumani Diabaté. With
Toumani and Symmetric Orchestra Band, he recorded several tracks - as many tubes - and participates in the band's world tour as lead singer, that gives him an invaluable international
experience.
2011 is the year of the return of « Soumissi » with the album Toulonké colorful and his
amazing so powerfully chilling voice : the delight of fans !
