# Mad Lenoir

Afro-fusionLaval, France2011

Born in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, into a family of griots, Mad Lenoir first went on stage with his parents at the age of 5. Now based in Laval, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has created his own style, afro-fusion: West African rhythms mixed with jazz, reggae and rock, carried by kora, n’goni, djembe and balafon, sung in Bwamu, Bambara, Dioula and French.

After two records with Dounia Percussion, he released the solo albums Bérémian (2013) and Mama Afrika (2016). He had just won the 2011 Émergences contest, the year he played Les Mouillotins.
