Mande Sila: Habib Koité, Aly Keïta, Lamine Cissokho, and Mama Koné

Mali meets Ivory Coast meets Senegal. Four top musicians take you on an authentic and captivating musical journey to the roots of the Mande culture in West Africa. Their family traditions date back to the 14th century, rich in sound, rhythm, and irresistible groove.

Mande Sila (meaning “the path of Mande”) brings the ancient griot tradition to life – the musical storytellers of the region. Expect the enchanting sound of the kora (West African harp-lute), the driving rhythms of the balafon (wooden xylophone), and the deep beat of the djembe. Their music celebrates life, sharing stories of wisdom, love, and the everyday beauty of the Mande people.

A deep dive into the heart of West African music.
