Biography

Koury Simple belongs to the new generation of Guinean musicians who fill stadiums. A singer and songwriter based in Conakry, he trained under Levi Bobo — his former mentor, whom he describes as the craftsman who polished a rough diamond. His first album, “Amoubalanma”, established him firmly on the Guinean scene, carried by videos his fans know by heart: “Bobo”, “Ammoulamma”, “Goumin”, “Yelena”.

On 31 October 2026, at Petit Sory stadium in Nongo, the launch of his second album “Yanfanté” turned into a popular triumph: mid-performance, the power went out — Koury Simple carried on a cappella, and thousands of voices took up his choruses, sometimes from start to finish. The night before, the album's VIP evening at the Noom Hotel was sold out. His official Facebook page passed 700,000 followers in late October 2026. Next big date: the Fristival in Fria, on 26 December 2026.
