ABOUT
Songwriter, composer, arranger, performer, and producer, Senegalese artist Thiecko, furrows the roads with his Taxi Brouss Band, spreading the spirit of public transportation in Africa and offering to all people the roots of reggae brotherhood.
Former keyboard player in Amandla (a famous reggae trio in Senegal in the 90s), his music evokes with accuracy universal love, faith, and unity, and also sings about the evils of politics in Africa.
What we retain especially are the human and social values that his music defends and his invitation to be respectful, just, and have solidarity and tolerance.
Thiecko invites us to travel by sharing generous music with captivating rhythm in Wolof, Bambara, French, and English.
After his 1st album "TON COMBAT" released in June 2004, and after several concerts in France and Africa, he came back in 2009 with "SAYAAN," the source in Wolof. A CD realized between France, Dakar, and London. "STAND TALL" in 2013, like previous albums, is impregnated with travel, different cultures, and musical influences.
With 10 titles, each with its own character, musical arrangement, and performance, and most especially its specific languages and theme.
More than twenty musicians from Senegal, Jamaica, France, and Mauritius participated in the project "Stand Tall," which gives the album a unique character.
Thiecko surrounded himself with great Jamaican musicians during his escape, such as Robbie Shakespeare: one of the most prolific musicians, who needs no introduction, Dean Frazer: the greatest reggae saxophonist of all time, Glen DaCosta: the master saxophonist of Bob Marley and the Wailers, Bongo Herman: legendary percussionist, Danny "Axeman" Thompson: bassist for Bunny Wailer and U-Roy, Franklyn "Bubbler" Waul: keyboardist for Ziggy Marley, Alpha Blondy, Glen Browne: bassist for Ziggy Marley, Tarrus Riley, Jimmy Cliff, Alvin Haughton: percussionist for Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff, and more.
