Abu Djigo, born in Senegal, west Africa. At a young age studied a variety of traditional style of guitar playing which is normally played on the ancient African 4-7 string lute called ngoni. He's studied with the best guitar masters. In his travels to other countries he also plays blues, jazz, bossa nova, and other styles very well.

His knowledge of west African blues is very enriching connecting the roots of Afro American blues to it's roots. And he's shares his Knowledge throughout the world. http://www.myspace.com/abuandgary
