FOUNDER & CEO

Every day I contribute to building, structuring, and making a sustainable Senegalese cultural industry shine.

— Abibou Mbaye, Founder

KER MADOKY was born from a simple conviction: culture is a «weapon of mass construction» — it has a global impact that we amplify every day. Since 2016, we have been contributing to building the infrastructure that will allow artists from Dakar, Algiers, and Paris to take their rightful place on the world's greatest stages.

With over 20 years of experience in entertainment, working notably for Live Nation, WME, and Universal Music Africa — within which he created U-Live — Abibou Mbaye has brought together under one roof all the expertise needed to develop, protect and export talent from Africa and beyond, taking into account their diasporas.
