BIO: Coura N'Diaye was born and raised in Dakar, Senegal.

After arriving in the United States, she formed Sunugal Ballet in 1998 to promote and perform Senegalese dance in the Bay Area. A small subset of Sunugal Ballet performed in People Like Me 2002: Face to Face! She has performed in numerous venues and festivals internationally, including the 2001 San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, the 1999 Juneteenth Festival in Oakland, and the Santa Cruz Ethnic Arts Showcase. She has also collaborated with other Senegalese performers, including international acclaimed singer, Youssou N'Dour, in addition to other performers residing in the U.S., to produce the Keur Khaley Cultural Dance Concert in Oakland, CA. in 2000 and 2001.

About Samba Lolo:
Samba Lolo featuring Boubacar Diabate, West African Griot Music from Mali, combined traditional rhythms with modern influences to create a unique style of contemporary Malian Griot music. Singing in Bambara, Boubacar and Samba Lolo create a performance that spans the full spectrum of Traditional to Contemporary Malian music. Bouba sings of a common shared experience of love, life and humanity, giving all an opportunity to hear the age-old West African tradition of Griot storytelling through song intermingled with the musicals accents of Jazz n' Blues and Reggae.
