Lamine Kora Kouyaté is a singer and kora player who growed up in the griot tradition of Senegambia. He follows his way as a spokesman of his mandinka culture and brings a tradi-modern music of great quality.

2010, he meets the young swiss saxophonist Nathanael Bosshard who left his country by bicycle and traveled in Africa. It's the begining of an intense collaboration who leads in 2011 to the album Kora Diata.

With the group Silaba (meaning the long road), Lamine and Nathanael continue their way accompanied by traditional percussions. They play concerts in Dakar, in Casamance, in Gambia, in Mali and come for the first european tour in spring 2013.
