Afro Dead & Sia Tolno

Afro Dead is a musical collective (from Africa, South America, Europe and the United States) directed by Aaron Feder and featuring the talented Guinean singer Sia Tolno. Aaron Feder is the founder of Alma Afrobeat Ensemble (with 5 albums and 4 US tours) and is a multi-instrumentalist with many years of extensive experience with Grateful Dead music, including playing and recording with members of Phil and Friends, Oteil and Friends, Peter Rowan and more. Sia Tolno on vocals brings her years of extensive recording and her global live performance touring career.

Sia Tolno is an award-winning Guinean-Sierraleonian global touring & recording artist, vocalist and songwriter, steeped in Afrobeat, Afro-blues, Mandinga and Soukous styles of African popular music. 

Her music is both personal and universal, singing about her unique past while making it relevant to the masses.  Sia’s previous album was produced by Tony Allen and Lusafrica records, and her new album is being produced and recorded in Barcelona by Aaron Feder in collaboration with Slow Walk Music.
