Seydou Kone - Alpha Blondy
The Man, The Music, The Legend. Grammy nominated Alpha Blondy
was born to a Muslim mother and a Christian father and was brought up
by a grandmother who taught him to love everyone. He is a deeply
spiritual human being who has a profound sense of compassion for
women and children in need.
Alpha has great pride and eternal love for his beloved Africa, especially
his home country of Côte D’Ivoire, West Africa.
As he grew up, he became aware of Jamaica and reggae music and
the way of life of Rastafarians. He embraces all the teachings of life
and recognizes that there are many roads to Zion and also that there is
but One God, One Destiny, for us all.
Alpha is a peace ambassador, who speaks out through the words of
his songs against all wars and social injustices.
He has the heart of a warrior chief and truly believes that the only war
that we need to fight is the war against generational poverty. Alpha is a
humanitarian who has remained refreshingly humble in spite of his
international musical success.
He is deeply saddened by the suffering that he sees around him each
day, and the cries of mothers and children suffering from senseless
civil wars and the enormous greed of men.
He is the inspiration for this foundation. We honor his vision of
helping the poor. " GOD IS OUR HOPE" - ALPHA BLONDY- Merci.
