Abdoulaye Diabate is a mega star in Mali. This griot, ever respectful of tradition and a great collector of tales of Mali's history, is also an incomparable presence on stage, whose concerts are veritable parties. Diabate's crafted a style that mixes balaphone, percussion, drums, electric guitars and a horn section for a perfect blend of traditional and modern Malian music. Courtesy Calabash Music
