Moh Music

-Moh Dediouf (Senegal)                
His roots and his tone are from Senegal, but Moh Dediouf is of another generation. His music beats to the rhythm of a wanderer, fed by encounters and the quest for new horizons. This journey started some thirty years ago, in a family house where traditional African rhythms mingled with the musical mastery of Marvin Gaye and James Brown. From this fertile mix flourished an unstoppable creative passion which was tempered with Moh’s move to France for his studies which expanded his musical universe. His lyrics speak of an African reality without clichés, while his unique sound fluctuates between blues and ballads. Dediouf is daring in his influences but never loses direction. Lyrics in French, English and Wolof testify to collaborations with dozens of French, Africa, Arab, Swiss, and American artists. From his wide-ranging musical influences he’s cultivated a global approach that extracts the essence of each artistic horizon he encounters. Singer, drummer, percussionist, Moh has worked in many musical combinations (soul acoustic trios, jazz groups, etc.). He colours Western music with African hues and sings English songs in Wolof, drawing on his roots and memories of music from his childhood. He released his first solo album, self-produced, in 2007. Acclaimed in the industry, it won first prize for the song “Adouana” in the World Music Category of the US International Songwriting Competition, beating out 15,000 competitors from 100 countries. Songs in French, Wolof and English link Africa and the rest of the world. As an artist and human being, this connection is his philosophy for confronting society’s ills. The symbol of a new movement, African Artists for the Next Generation, Moh-Dediouf always surrounds himself with European and African artists to forge pathways between Africa and the rest of the world. For Moh, it’s through his music that the real Africa will burst onto the world stage.
