Daby performed this summer in New York City in Central Park as part of Summerstage. It was the first time I had heard his music and all I can say is his performance was nothing short of amazing. The place was packed, wall to wall, and every soul was on there feat dancing like crazy on a super hot New York summer day. Daby on amped acoustic guitar plus drum/djembe and bass. His incredible sense of rythym guitar impressed me no end, as well as his percussive rythmic interludes tappng his guitar and essesntially turning it into a drum. The performance was taped and recently rebroadcast on local TV. I marvelled again at what a great musician he is, and how he had 5000 people in the palm of his hand.

Daby Toure's music, in my opinion, is some of the best music the continent of Africa has ever produced. His songs are uplifting and inspiring, his live performance's outstanding, and his cd "Diam" is a masterpiece. Thank you Daby for staying true to your musical instincts...

Saw them at the Portland zoo concert in July '06. Great band! Nice guys to talk with. Put on an excellent show.

I discovered Daby on this website while looking around for some international music. The musicians on this site are great; very talented. But, there was something about Daby that really stood out to me. I called my local Barnes and Noble and inquired as to their stock of "Diam." They only had one copy left. I asked the gentleman to put my name on it, and I promptly went by to claim my prize after work! Daby, your music is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

So glad we we've got him for the year. Thanks BBC. I missed Daby at Womad 04, there was so much on at the same time - just listening now - he's brilliant! How can I have missed him? I can also hear threads similar to Rokia Traore.

I heard Daby's music on NPR's "weekend america" and I was just blown away with his voice and astounding beat! You have to hear the song titled "Iris".

Daby has musical skill in abundance. Not only does he have a great voice and fantastic presence on stage, when his string broke on stage he finished the song and went acapella for the next one until the guitar was brought back to him. He remained completely unphased as if he had meant to break it in the first place. He has a completely fresh sound. Outstanding.

i thought he was really good, and that he looked like he was really into it, i especially enjoyed watching him whilst he was playing the Guitar as a drum.

Fantastic show, late on Saturday night at the village stage. Even better than playing with the rest of his band on the main stage on Sunday. Beautiful tunes, and great use of the sampler, made Daby's songs so simple but totally engaging. One of the highlights of an outstanding womad!
