Born in 1947, Ousmane Diallo, better known as Ouza, spent several years in Côte D'Ivoire studying and performing with traditional music groups and ballets, before returning to Senegal and playing a major role in Senegalese culture; and not just in modern music (he also was a leader of the Orchestre National du Senegal), but also traditional music and ballet. He is seen as an influential innovator and as a coach of talented singers. Although he is said to have founded his first group in 1965, it took him ten years to release his first album. Ouza is a Master who not only creates beautiful songs, his themes have always the main feature of traditional African songs - to educate (wordservice blog info).
