Finding strength in identity
Saladiaga is living proof of that
Through music, culture and rhythm, he explores what it means to belong to more than one world. His sound reflects his Senegalese roots, shaped by ancestral traditions and today’s electronic scene. With a love for house, afro-house and percussion, Saladiaga’s sets are a search for identity, connection and self-expression.
Blending percussive house with live Senegalese recordings, his work moves beyond borders. His project SERER reflects his journey to reconnect with his roots, through an EP and documentary about bicultural identity and belonging.
His collaboration with Snoeck, Tasty Folk, brings people together to dance and celebrate culture. With sold-out shows and strong community vibes, their mission is simple: create lasting moments.
For Saladiaga, it’s about more than music — it’s about stories, connection, and diversity. Join the journey

To Create Without Borders
I blend cultures, styles, and influences fearlessly because rhythm speaks a universal language
To Move People, Not Just Bodies
My music is meant to stir something deeper - joy, connection, memory, and meaning
To Honor My Roots
Every beat I play carries the pulse of my ancestors - their struggles, celebrations, and stories.
