In early 2015 Mory's new single I Wouli Ka Don Ke (Africa Can Break Down The Wall) was selected by France's Canal+ as their hymn for all programs, on their multiple channels, related to the CAN 2015 (African Football Cup). He performed on a number of their shows and went with his group to perform in Malabo (Equatorial Guinea) for events at the cup finals.
MORY KANTE will tour with a new lineup - he is accompanied by: 2 female backing vocals, balafon, keyboards, percussionist (djembe & congas), guitar, bass & drums. Full traveling party 11 people.
