On Sunday, November 10, 2024, a turning point was marked in the personal life of illustrious Guinean artist Sékouba Kandia Kouyaté, who celebrated his second marriage in Conakry. The event, first revealed through photos circulating on social media, was confirmed by the artist himself via a touching message on Facebook, accompanied by photos showing him alongside his new wife, presumed to be Fatoumata Diakité.
The son of legendary Sory Kandia Kouyaté shared this solemn moment with his admirers through two emblematic photos showing him delicately lifting the bride's veil, a radiant smile illuminating his face. His message, imbued with spirituality, "Everything God does is good" followed by "Before God and men", testifies to the depth of this commitment.
This union comes in a particular context, as tensions are reported with his first wife, the famous singer Sona Tata Condé. The latter, a major figure in Guinean music and mother of his children, reportedly left the marital home several months ago, according to sources close to the couple. The exact circumstances of this separation and its possible connection to this remarriage remain subject to question.
Heir to a prestigious lineage of griots, Sékouba Kandia continues the musical legacy of his illustrious father, continuing to enchant audiences with his talent. This new page in his personal life is being written while he remains a respected figure in the Guinean music scene, perpetuating an artistic tradition deeply rooted in the country's culture.
