Kimi Djabaté was raised in Tabato, Guinea-Bissau, a village known for its singer-poets whose songs and tales of history and legends play an essential role in Africa's musical life. After over fifteen years in Europe (Lisbon, Portugal), Djabaté still remains devoted to the music he grew up with in Guinea-Bissau, although he brings elements of his own influences and experiences to forge a unique and personal sound. In Europe, Djabaté has collaborated with many exceptional musicians, including Mory Kanté, Waldemar Bastos, Netos de Gumbé and others. The central theme of 'Karam', is Africa: it's social and political realities; the suffering of African people; the fight against poverty; freedom; women's rights; and love. An expression of his griot roots, Karam pays tribute to the people, soul and spirit of Africa that is at the heart of his music.
