SambaLolo, featuring Boubacar Diabate, West African Griot from Mali,
combines traditional rhythms with modern influences to form a unique style
of contemporary Malian Griot music. Singing in Bambara, Diabate tells
stories of common shared human experiences such as of love, life, struggle,
and transcendence. Through the age-old West African tradition of Griot
storytelling, Diabate brings the audience on a musical journey that is
embellished with accents of Jazz, Blues and Reggae. For more information
