Alune Wade

In the organizer's words:

Afrobeat & African Jazz



Jazzing Up the World -
Afrobeat & Bass Groove in Cosmopolitan Fusion.

Alune Wade, the "super talent" on the bass (DLF Kultur), has already shared the stage with greats such as Joe Zawinul and Marcus Miller. The music of this exceptional Senegalese talent is pulsating with groovy bass lines, soundtrack-like soundscapes, fascinating vocals and an irresistible mix of funky beats. Inspired by the vibrant vibes of Dakar, Paris and New York, his music truly embodies the character of a cosmopolitan sound. With his versatile bass playing, together with his international ensemble consisting of two keyboards, an incomparable funky brass section and excellent Afrobeat on the drums, he electrifies the audience. The result is an urban flair of Afrobeat and African jazz that is hard to beat in its intensity.

Alune Wade's remarkable journey began when he was discovered by Ismaël Lô, one of Africa's most respected musicians. This led him to collaborations with Oumou Sangare, Bobby McFerrin, Toure Kunda, Saint Germain and many others. Alune Wade is revitalizing the African jazz scene with his highly creative cosmopolitan compositions and is on a direct path to becoming a shining star in the African jazz universe.

New single "Triptyque''
"Triptyque'' presents a refreshing sound that illuminates the essence of African jazz, seamlessly blending West African rhythms with modern sonic textures. The track is infused with Alune's signature groove, rooted in his mastery of the bass, and showcases his eclectic approach to composition.
