Wassado is a high energy five piece African band led by the esteemed Malian guitarist, Moussa Diakite. The music is steeped in Moussa’s African roots with a contemporary funky jazz edge that’s irresistible on the dance floor. 
Moussa was part of Mali's generation of pioneering musicians in the 1970s and ‘80s. He joined the ‘Super Rail Band de Bamako’ as it's lead guitarist in 1979. He also played with the legendary Toumani Diabate in his ‘Yanga Orchestre’, and eventually joined world music star Salif Keita from 1987-1992. Since moving to Sydney in 1992, Moussa has inspired the Australian African music scene.

Prequel’s love for sharing music that moves him is ever present in his seemingly boundless enthusiasm when performing.

Records on Bradley Zero’s Rhythm Section (2014’s Polite Strangers and 2016’s Freedom Jazz Dance), Local Talk (2017’s Freedom/Lefty) and Lobster Theremin sub label Distant Hawaii (2018’s Without You) have demonstrated his reverence for Jazz influenced House music, whilst showing a continual evolution with each release.

2021 has seen Prequel release his debut album Love Or(I Heard You Like Heartbreak)(Rhythm Section) and a 3 track EP "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know" on Lumberjacks In Hell.

His monthly show on Gilles Peterson’s acclaimed Worldwide FM consistently displays his passion for a wide variety of sounds, as do his frequent appearances on several highly respected local and international radio stations such as BBC1, BBC6, NTS, Red Light Radio, Teder.FM, East Side Radio, LeMellotron, PBS, Double J and RRR.

Considered remix duties appear via reworks of Sampa The Great, Poppy Ajudha, Sofa Talk, Alta & Tulalah.

Always producing and presenting music with true substance, Prequel wears his musical heart on his sleeve on every occasion.
