67-year-old Legendary Alpha Blondy ties the knot with his Tunisian longtime babe.

Alpha Blondy (born Seydou Koné; 1 January 1953 in Dimbokro, Ivory Coast) who is a reggae singer and international recording artist has married his Tunisian rib some hours ago.

Known for his songs which are politically and socially motivated, and are mainly sung in his native language of Dioula, French and in English, it is not readily known whether this is his first-ever legitimate marriage or otherwise. He also occasionally uses other languages, for example, Arabic or Hebrew.

Congratulations to the reggae legend on his marriage to Aelyssa, from Tunisia.
