Amadou Diagne
My Daughter - A Blessing Across the Distance Created by Touki—the collaboration between Senegalese artist Amadou Diagne and Franco-American musician Cory Seznec—this deeply personal song is a blessing dedicated to Amadou's two daughters in Senegal, whom he was separated from for seven long years. Carrying the love, hope, and resilience of a father's heart, the song serves as both a gift and a prayer, transcending the distance that kept them apart. Rooted in West African musical traditions while embracing folk influences and rich orchestral textures, it reflects Touki's signature sound: a meeting place of cultures, stories, and journeys.
