Ismaël Lô (also Ismaël Lo) is a Senegalese musician who was born in Dogondoutchi, Niger on 30 August 1956. While growing up in Rufisque,
Senegal, Lo loved music from an early age and got his start playing a homemade one-string guitar. Later his older brother asked him to play on a local television show and he was an instant hit, which inspired him to consider performing full-time. In 1979, he was invited to play in the Super Diamono band, a super group that played
mbalax-blues. With his talent for guitar playing and song writing, Lo quickly established himself as a key figure in the band and soon became the band’s second lead singer and rhythm guitarist. In 1984, he launched his solo career in
African music and later released global hits such as “
Nafanta”.
