Souleymane Guèye, dit "Jules Guèye"

A native of Thiès, Jules Guèye is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist (trumpet, flute, guitar) and a great master of music theory. Having dropped out of secondary school early to live his passion, he spent a dozen years at the Dakar Conservatory of Music under the wing of Russian teachers. A former footballer for US Rail de Thiès, he is renowned for his intellectual vision of art, defending a calm and spiritual listening to music rather than solely danceable. His pedagogical approach and musical rigor have trained many Senegalese musicians.
