Aly N'Diaye Rose (Dakar, Senegal) comes from a famous family of griots, West African troubadours who keep time-honoured traditions alive. From an early age he was taught rhythms and musical traditions, and from the age of twelve he toured the world over with his father’s orchestra, the Doudou N'Diaye Rose Orchestra, playing with superstars such as Miles Davis, James Brown, Stevie Wonder and Peter Gabriël. In 1989 he moved to The Hague, where he became artistic leader of the percussion group Anumadutchi. In his own orchestra, the Aly N'Diaye Rose Orchestra, he performs his own unique repertoire together with his children, brothers and other family members.
