About Jimi Mbaye
Jimi Mbaye (born Mamadou Mbaye in Dakar on 2 October 1957; died 12 February 2025) was a Senegalese guitarist remembered for his work with Youssou N'dour and for his unique Senegalese guitar style in which he made his Fender Stratocaster sound like local instruments such as the kora or xalam. Mbaye recorded six top-selling major-label albums with N'Dour before taking a leave of absence to record his own solo album, released in 1997. He then became a member of N'Dour's Super Étoile Band from 1979 onwards.
