about
After several evocative pseudonyms, Ibaaku (full name: Stephen Ibaaku Bassene) chose his first name in Djola for this new project, marking a turning point for this multidisciplinary artist. Born in Dakar, but originally from Casamance, Ibaaku is a prolific artist; not only a producer but also a multi-instrumentalist, author, composer and radio host. Before launching his solo career, he has worked for a few years with the best Senegalese hip-hop artists, including Xuman, Keyti, Daara J (Faada Freddy's group) and PPS. He furthermore remains a key member of the collective I-Science. Ibaaku also collaborates regularly with other cultural and artistic fields, such as fashion, visual arts and video.
