Biographie
Soulymane Bangoura, says Soul Bang's, has been singing since childhood — a gospel coriste at seven years old — before becoming Guinea's R&B voice. The 2016 RFI Discovery Award launches his international career; follows a first album noticed, "Cosmopolitan" (2017), then "Evolution 2" (2022), where he sings in duet with Stevie Wonder on "I keren". His texts denounce excision and early marriage.
