Mohamed Champion & Complète Mandingue - YELENA (2024) [Hi-Res]

Mohamed "Champion" Yonne (Kouyate) is well-spoken and talented afro-jazz griot, composer, and guitarist from Kankan, Guinea. Based in Paris since 2015, he has launched several projects, including his Afro-Jazz band, Complète Mandingue, which combines traditional Manding guitar with Jazz, Blues, Salsa, Funk, and more. He may be a global guitarist, but he remains solidly a griot in his behavior, the way he speaks, the way he addresses people. "Je ne bougerai pas de ça!" I'll never move from being a griot, he confirms.
