Syliphone was a Guinean record label active from 1967 to 1984, created and funded by the government under President Ahmed Sékou Touré. It played a key role in Guinea’s authenticité cultural policy, modernizing traditional music and influencing West African sound. The label produced high-quality recordings of orchestras, ensembles, and solo artists, featuring acts like Bembeya Jazz National and Miriam Makeba. Syliphone gained international recognition as its musicians toured Africa, Europe, and the USA. The label dissolved in 1984 after Touré's death, but its legacy shaped African popular music for decades.
