Bio

This is an incorrect tag for Lansiné Kouyaté. Please vote for the correct spelling via "suggest a correction" on the right side of the artist page. As youngest son of the famous Malian female bard Siramori Diabaté, Lansiné is born into the tradition of the Kela griots (French term for West African bards/diplomats). This group of griots is particularly recognized for its narrations of the Sundjata epopee. His mother remains for many Malian people one of the greatest jelimusow (female bard) who paved the way for Malians modern female singers.
