N'faly's new cd with Dunyakan, Tunya, will be released shortly and has already been garnering critical praise and international airplay and interview attention. It is an exciting and groundbreaking departure from much traditional African-based releases, with the collaboration of several classically trained artists, in addition to N'faly's tremendous kora playing and the more traditional sounds of the band as well, truly Mandingue music for the new millennium, authentically fusing ancient with modern.
2007 finds N'faly performing at both WOMAD Caceres and the 25th anniversary celebration WOMAD Charlton Park, at their new location. In addition, their first South African dates, at Awesome Africa Festival and Bushfire Festival, and then Galdames Folk Festival, in Bilbao, Spain.
N'faly has previously performed at such prestigious international festivals and venues as Couleur Café (Belgium), WOMAD Reading, WOMADrid, Francofolies at Spa, Pardinas (Spain), Nuits D'Afrique (Montréal), Sori-WOMAD (S. Korea), Bucarest Francophone, Rainbowpark (Holland), Afrolatino (Belgium), Tartan Heart, Big Big World (both Scotland), Open Sky, Voix du Monde, International Pavilion at Llangollen, Blackheath Halls, Cambridge Junction, Trades Club, among many others. In Belgium he has also worked with the Yehudi Menuhim Foundation and may work with them in future as well.
With the Afrocelts, he has literally traversed the world, in additon to being nominated for two best World Music Grammy Awards, and a gold record in Ireland.
