The folkoric music of the three brothers Djibi Guissé (guitar/vocals),
Cheik Guissé (guitar/vocals) and Aliou Guissé ( djembé/
percussion) is based on different rhythms of the Toucouleur; (people
living in the North of Senegal and Mauretania, also the home
area of Baaba Maal). They are singing in different West
African languages but mainly in their own pular ( peul), which
is spoken in a lot of other West African countries.
The three brothers prefer saying that their music is
universal for all ages and races, influenced by different
musical directions but is strongly based on their own folkoric
music.
Since 1988 they have been playing in an acoustic setting and
have created a unique and personal sound and nowadays they are
very well known in Africa.
Their songs call to mind the difficulties of daily life,
youngsters' problems. With two acoustic guitars and a djembé,
the three Guissé brothers mesmerize all the audiences they
meet with.
