About Me


FRANCAIS Scroll down for ENGLISHChanteur exceptionnel originaire de Sierra Leone et dont la tessiture rauque rappelle parfois les grandes figures de la Motown, Oumar Thiam se situe dans cette nouvelle mouvance d'une Nu Soul folk acoustique avant tout basée sur l'authenticité et l'émotion.

Seul à la guitare, il évoque une sorte de mélange idéal entre un Al Green et une Tracy Chapman, entre un Otis Redding et un Richie Havens, réussissant ainsi – à l’instar d’un Keziah Jones ou d’un Ben Harper - la rencontre pas si évidente en soi entre la soul, le R'n'B et le folk.

Mais ce qui distingue davantage encore cet artiste inclassable, c'est une capacité rare à émouvoir, à faire passer d'énormes sentiments avec une simplicité et une candeur souvent désarmantes.

Après un premier album signé chez Warner, une tournée en première partie de Youssou N' Dour, Oumar Thiam prépare son deuxième album pour la rentrée, dont il présente les titres dans une série de dates parisiennes.



ENGLISHOutstanding singer from Sierra Leone now based in Paris whose voice has the flavour of the Motown icons, Oumar Thiam is part of this new trend of an acoustic folk Nu Soul primarely based on authenticity and emotion.

When singing on his own with his guitar, he sounds like an ideal mix between Al Green and Tracy Chapman, Otis Redding and Richie Havens, making soul, R'n'B and folk music meet just like Keziah Jones or Ben Harper did.

But what makes this artist even more unique, is a rare capacity to touch people, to put across strong feelings with a candid simplicity.

After a first album signed with Warner in France, a tour with Youssou N'Dour, Oumar is currently working on his second album to be released next fall, whose titles can be heard in a series of gigs given in Paris.
