Born and raised in Dakar, his musical journey began in the heart of the bustling streets of the capital, where the vibrant pulse of Senegalese life imbued his soul with an insatiable passion for melody.
Drawing on his rich cultural heritage, Zale's music pays a powerful tribute to his country's traditions while embracing contemporary influences. With Afrobeat as its cornerstone, it infuses each composition with infectious grooves, catchy percussion and soulful melodies that transport listeners to the sunny shores of West Africa.
At the heart of Zale's music lies Senegalese rumba, a genre that pulsates with the contagious energy of Dakar's nightlife. With its hypnotic rhythms and emotive lyrics, Senegalese rumba provides the perfect setting for Zale's expressive vocals, which soar and glide over the music like a bird in flight.
But Zale's musical palette extends far beyond Afrobeat and Senegalese rumba, encompassing a kaleidoscope of genres and influences. From the soft melodies of jazz to the catchy rhythms of funk, from the soulful sounds of blues to the electrifying energy of rock, Zale bravely explores the boundaries of sound, pushing the boundaries of his creativity with each new composition.
