Amadeus
Massamba Amadeus, Senegalese singer finalist of the RFI 2023 Discovery Prize, has a pop, mbalax and urban sound dialogue from Taaru Senegal to Digg Doole.
Massamba Amadeus is a Senegalese singer based in Dakar. He first builds his fame by taking over Senegalese musical heritage, before developing an original repertoire where pop meets mbalax and urban music.
His first album, Taaru Senegal, is largely devoted to the memory of the pioneers of Senegalese music, including "Jëli", a duo with Wally B. Seck. In 2023, he was finalist of the RFI Discovery Prize, chaired that year by Black M.
In 2026, he published Digg Doole, his second album of 13 more personal titles — love, friendship, family, mourning and life choices — accompanied by several clips, including "Dugi Dugi" with Aida Samb and "Yalla Du Juum".
