what everyone on earth deserves : justice, respect for human rights,
equality, peace, love, food self-sufficiency, health, and education
for everyone .
Artist activist for Humanity, he commits himself with his music as
only weapon against ignorance and religion fundamentalism.
Recorded in Bamako, Paris and Abidjan, this new album
"Yelen - La Lumière - The Light" includes 11 tracks about very current
themes that touch worldwilde.

APPOLO REGGAE - The Other African Reggae
A native of Mali, Bafing Kul sings about the problems and the
suffering of his people, his continent and the entire world.
"YELEN" (The Light - La Lumière) is the title of his second album,
which can be as a light, a way to help people to control their own
destiny and to be free without being indifferent to others’s problems
and suffering.
Bafing Kul mixes his message of injustice, peace, and love with a
soulful blend of traditional Malian rhythms and Reggae music.
That’s what he named APPOLO REGGAE.
With this album, Bafing Kul wants to share this cultural wealth with
all the world.
Born in Bamako (Mali) in a noble family native of Segou, Bafing Kul,
writer, composer, performer, chooses to concentrate on militant music
derogating, thus, to the established traditions.
Early sensitive to the sufferings of girls employed in the families,
he wrote "52" Bamako to denounce domestic slavery.
The singer is actively commited in the fight against female
circumcision, a practice that still affects 80% of women in Mali and
thousands around the world. This injustice between social and
intimate, Bafing Kul denounces it in his album titles YELEN with the
songs "Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh! "and" Little Girls From Africa ".
Since his arrival in France in 2002, he worked with the Commission
for the Abolition of Sexual Mutilations (CAMS).
With the support of this association he recorded his first album
« Africa Paris ».

Influences:I called my music "APPOLO REGGAE".
I am from Mali, and wanted to sing about problems and suffering of my people and my continent. How and then I realised that those problems and pains were the same in the rest of the world.Then I took from traditional rhythms from my country, as various as they could be, maried those rhythms to Reggae music, and called it "APPOLO REGGAE". I wish to share the cultural richness of Africa with the whole world, claiming for Justice, Human Rights Respect, Equality, Peace and Love, Self-Feeding Suffisance, Health and Education for every people on Earth.PEACE AND LOVEJ'ai baptise ma musique " APPOLO REGGAE".
je suis originaire du Mali, je voulais chanter les problemes, les souffrances de mon peuple et de mon continent. Au fil du temps je me suis rendu compte que ces problemes et souffrances sont aussi identiques au reste du monde.
Ainsi j'ai puise dans les rythmes traditionnels de mon pays aussi varies qu'ils soient, marie ces ryhmes à la musique reggae, que J'ai appelle "APPOLO REGGAE".Mon souhait est de partager la richesse culturelle de mon continent avec le monde entier, tout en plaidant pour la Justice, le Respect des Droits de l'Homme, l'Egalite, la Paix et l'Amour, l'Auto-suffisance alimentaire, la Sante et l'Education pour tous les peuples de la Terre.PAIX ET AMOUR
