Seyba Diouf is an international African folk singer and musician from Senegal, West Africa. He plays several instruments, including the djembe, guitar, harmonica, talking drum, xalam (ngoni), sabar, West African bongo, among others. His beliefs are deeply rooted in Baay Fall culture. He was born and raised in a family of musicians and affectionately referred to as a "griot" or "jail." His mother was his first musical influence, her beautiful voice while cooking taught him many of the first songs he learned. Serigne's first performance was at the age of 6 when he began performing in his village for cultural ceremonies, local schools, and TV stations. While in Senegal he traveled extensively performing and working with students. Serigne has opened for several artists including Youssou Ndior. In 2013 he traveled to New, York and performed at The Apollo Theatre, Central Park, and Manhattan TV among other notable places. He has received a special invitation by the UNFPA to perform one of his original songs (Fustila) at the Fustila Day Celebration in New York. In 2014 Serigne created the band Yahtu, which means "Humble" in the Senegalese Wolof dialect. Yahtu went on to have great success being nominated "Best Original Band" in 2015 and performing at various festivals and music venues throughout Florida. His music is representative of the culture and beauty of Senegal. He has taught students around the United States including at Dance Africa Miami, Houston Community College, and Houston’s High School for Performing and Visual Arts where he has accompanied West African Dance Classes taught in both the dance and theatre departments as well as taught drum workshops.
