Timbuktu

Timbuktu, also known as Jason Diakité, is one of Sweden's biggest hip-hop artists and most popular artists of all time. In 2000, the first album was released and since then he has had nine pieces as a solo artist and a couple of live records with the funk band Damn! with whom he has also toured for over 15 years. The successes have followed each other and Timbuktu has won, among other things, eight Grammy awards and four P3 Gold awards.

Timbuktu is not just an artist but a true multi-artist, which he proved with his family biography "En Droppe Midnatt", which was both a sales success and a celebrated live performance with sold-out arenas around the Nordic region.

Timbuktu released the single "VIVA" together with the modern soul queen Mapei. The single was the first taste from the upcoming album "Du Gamla Du Nya" which is Timbuktu's tenth studio album and the first release since the acclaimed album "För livet till döden".

After "VIVA" was released "Bars från ett B-barn" and " Comme Ci, Comme Ça”. Jason premiered "Comme Ci, Comme Ça" at the National Day celebration and then ended Allsång at Skansen to a standing ovation with the same song. "Du gamla du nya" is the first studio album from Timbuktu since 2014 and has 12 tracks. All songs are produced by Chords & Collén, in addition Jason has worked with Julimar Santos, Ketil Jansen (Lemaitre) and Minna Koivisto.
