Ismaël Isaac
Ismaël Isaac (born Kaba Diakité Issiaka in 1966) is a reggae singer from Côte d'Ivoire. Born in Abidjan, his parents are from Ponondougou in the north of the country.[1] He is strongly influenced by Bob Marley and Alpha Blondy.[2]
He was discovered on the Ivorian television show First Chance broadcast on Radio Television Ivoirienne and was found by the keyboardist Georges Kouakou. Its success led him to have a record contract with Island Records, and "Taxi Jump" was released in 1993.[1]
In August 2014, Ismael came back after 14 years with his new album called "Je reste" produced by Canta Productions with some featuring from Mokobe and Bony RAS.
