An 21 du décès du chanteur : cinq noms qui ont compté dans la carrière de Ndongo Lô

The artist from Pikine was born on January 15, 1975, and died the day after his 30th birthday, on January 16, 2005. To mark the anniversary of his passing, Le Soleil dedicated a feature to him in its weekend edition. The newspaper highlights the figures who helped launch the career of this rising star of Senegalese music.

1. Djily Niang

He was his manager. The man who, along with music video producer Mayacine Diop, launched his musical career. Before crossing paths with them, Ndongo Lô made a name for himself in simb (fake lion) shows, alongside his friend Yves Niang, and at religious ceremonies, under the wing of Alla Diop.

2. Talla Diagne

The producer who enabled Ndongo Lô to release his first album, the aptly named "Ndortel", in 2001. A success that bears the signature of Papis Konaté.

3. Habib Faye

The late bassist of Super Étoile was the architect of Ndongo Lô's second album, "Tarkhiss". Habib Faye had initially helped the young artist develop his voice before releasing eight hit tracks.

4. Alioune Petit Mbaye

The former wrestling promoter was the owner of the Major Production label, which hired Ndongo Lô in 2003. Thanks to the partnership between the two men, the Pikine native released his second album, "Tarkhiss".

5. Papis Konaté

He crossed paths with Ndongo Lô twice. First when the artist signed with Talla Diagne for his first album, "Ndortel", and for his third and last album, "Aduna", released against the advice of Habib Faye, who at the time suggested, in vain, that he allow his fans to properly digest "Tarkhiss", released a year earlier.
