Super Diamono

[2][3] Omar Pene was a founding-member, and the group was alternately led by the singers Mamadou Lamine Maïga and Musa Ngum.

It started with traditional West African music, but quickly turned to an Afro-Cuban and pop-influenced sound.

[1] In 1979, Ismaël Lô, a co-founder of the group, rejoined the band as a guitar player, but soon left again for his solo career.

[1][3][7] Bob Sene (El Hadj "Bob" Sene), a bassist, is credited as the creator of Super Diamono, which in turn showcased the charismatic singers Omar Pene and Ismael Lô, then Mamadou Maïga and Moussa Ngom.

Since its founding, the band and Pene in particular have addressed issues of great interest to the youth, such as unemployment, corruption and inequality.
