Wasis Diop, the man of the islands

Wasis Diop the man of the islands

Rare, discreet, melancholy, meticulous, what else? Ah yes, author, composer, performer who does not lend himself to all fires. What else?

Difficult to say, he traded his Wolof for language and guitar games, his inner life is full of drawers filled with love for the 7th art, Japan and meditation. Brother of, but also Father of, in short, the Diop family is tentacularly powerful. His Senegal is quivering (he is right) and his France is also turning pale (she is not wrong). Because it is a man of the islands who makes Saint-Louis his Senegalese land. Diantre. I don’t know anything about Wasis Diop, just that friendship is his only religion, that he is there with his stories ice cream and gazelle (new album) and that he sometimes listens to In G Major while cooking… But Wasis Diop, what are you cooking?
