Trio Da Kali

The soul of Malian music

Trio Da Kali presents authentic Malian music that touches the soul deeply. This group consists of musicians from southern Mali, descendants of prominent griots. Singer Hawa 'Kassé Mady' Diabate, daughter of the renowned Malian singer Kassé Mady Diabate, takes center stage. Her voice, with its power and range, invites comparisons to gospel artist Mahalia Jackson. Together with bass ngoni player Mamadou Kouyaté, son of master Bassekou Kouyaté, and balafon player Lassana Diabaté, who possesses a virtuoso technique, they create a sound that honors the tradition.

A musical promise

The name Da Kali means 'to make a promise', more specifically to keep the musical tradition of the Mande jeli alive. With their debut album Bagola, they bring together generations of musical and storytelling traditions. You can hear influences from jazz, Afro-Mexican music, and classical compositions. Live, this guarantees an experience that takes you on a musical journey.
