About

Ibou Tall, hailing from Dakar, Senegal, is widely recognized as a preeminent jazz composer in the region. His musical journey encompasses significant achievements, commencing with his involvement in various band projects and culminating in a prolific collaboration with renowned singer Alioune Mbaye Nder, resulting in 10 albums and numerous chart-topping hits from 1995 to 2002.

 

Following successful tours with Nder across Europe, Africa, and the USA, and a notable recording with Baba Maal for the album "Buur Laamdo," Ibou embarked on his solo career in 2002, establishing his label Talli. B Productions.

 

Over the subsequent two decades, Ibou has lent his expertise and talent to an array of international projects as a musical director and session musician, notably contributing to diverse musical endeavours such as “The Melting Pot Jazz Trio,” the “Nobody’s Perfect” album by MC Sketchy, and the “Femme Qui Suis Je sans Mari” documentary, directed by Mariama Samba Balde, which saw release on TV5 France/Afrique.

​

In 2020, Ibou embarked on an educational pursuit at dBs Music in Bristol, endeavouring to achieve a first-grade composition degree in Film/Television. This academic endeavour underpins his aspirations to assume the role of a freelance lecturer at the dBs in 2023 and the Bristol Beacon in 2024 while continuing to lead the Jazzmates band and spearhead music production and film projects, signifying his commitment to excellence and continuous professional advancement.
