In October 1998 he was invited to join the National Ballet Djoliba where he was a soloist for five years. From 2001-early 2006 Simbo was a principal dancer with Guinea’s other acclaimed National Ballet, Les Ballets Africains de Guinee. With Ballets Africains Simbo toured throughout Northern and Western Africa with the ballet “Evolution”.

Simbo has performed in a variety of Guinean music videos with such stars as Fode Kouyate and Johanna Barry. In 2006 Simbo performed in Montreal, Canada at the Festival International Nuits d’Afrique with Prince Diabate, a celebrated kora player from Guinea. In 2007 and 2008 he performed in Ottawa, Ontario with Mohammed Diarra and Le Cobra du Mandigue.
