Alpha Blondy

Bio

Alpha Blondy (born Seydou Koné on January 1, 1953 in Dimbokro, Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa), is an African reggae singer and a major international recording artist. Alpha Blondy sings mainly in his native language of Dioula, in French and English, and also sometimes in Arabic or Hebrew. His lyrics convey strong political attitudes and a fine sense of humor. In particular, he coined the French term democrature (an English equivalent might be "democratatorship") to identify some African governments.
