About Me


SOLO SOW from Guinea, West-Africa, is living more than 20 years in Berlin, Germany. Here he starrs in different formations as a singer, trumpet-player and percussionist (Bongos, Shakare, bells and many more).
In 1999 SOLO SOW founded one of the best African percussion bands in Europe: KONKOBA. They played all over Germany at big festivals such as (Chiemsee Reggaefest, Afrika-Fest Würzburg, Potsdam etc.), France (St. Brieux), The Netherlands (Delft).
During the Worlcup 2006 SOLO SOW and Konkoba had 15 concerts for the FIFA to entertain the VIP-guestand media before an after the games, as well as during the final in Berlin.
With the dancefloor version from IKO IKO (in Guinea known as MAFUDIYA) SOLO SOW and KONKOBA had great succes and gained a record contract with Cap Sound.
Since 2004 SOLO SOW is also working on his own project: a fusion of African music with modern international rhythms. The result is hip dance-music, AFRO-POP at it..s best!Information about Solos traditional project you can find under: www.myspace.com/konkobaberlin
