Idriss le Viking Noir

As his name suggests, Idriss le Viking Noir sets the stage ablaze with his fiery energy. Twenty-five years into his musical career, Tonton Idriss is never at a loss for words, and he certainly knows how to light up a crowd with his performances. Against a backdrop of exuberant mandinka rhythms, courtesy of his band of seasoned musicians, this wise, slightly rebellious man becomes a friendly, easy-going conqueror who draws on his background as an entertainer to spread his wisdom and tell life’s story in his powerful voice with a hint of a reggae accent.
