His band, Bamada, was a supergroup of West African musicians, which included Kélétigui Diabaté on balafon.\nComing from a noble lineage of Khassonké griots, Koité is known for developing a distinctive guitar style that blends traditional Malian musical forms with elements of blues and Afro-Cuban music, while maintaining strong roots in Mali’s regional rhythms and cultural traditions."
