Biography

Thomas Guei was born into a family of traditional musicians and dancers. At the age of 7 he joined the EDEC, one of the best art schools in Côte d'Ivoire. Now based in France, he works with choreographers such as Georges Momboye on the shows "Clair de Lune", "Boyakodah", "Tahama", "Empreinte Masaï" and Merlin Nyakam for the Native album. His immense talent also allows him to play with jazz musicians like Stéphane Huchard, Sylvain Bœuf and Stéphane Belmondo. In 2006, he founded the “Sounan” collective, which is a tribute to his Ivorian percussionist fathers. His album "Guelassemou" which means "God does not sleep" is inspired by the traditional songs of West Africa. Thomas Gueï tours and teaches all over the world in order to transmit and share his passion for music. Djembe virtuoso, Thomas Guei is also one of the few musicians to play Gloé, a traditional percussion instrument that is one of the oldest instruments in the world
