figures who carry and transmit local knowledge, tradition, history and
culture.Later he entered
the Mali Instrumental Assembly as tamani and ngoni player.During this
period the Assembly undertook several European and American tours.In 1991 he founded the group Taman
Kan and they went on an African tour together.He has now been in Italy since 1999, where he
cut his second CD, "Djana".He has a very special style, melting western sounds like
jazz, rock and blues into the melodies and rhythms of Bambara, Peul,
Mandinga and Sonrai, which come from the roots of his history.Nor should we forget the
contribution made by Amandrai to his compositions.Amandrai is a
repetitive and hypnotic musical structure from Mali.All of this translates into a musical product that makes for
extremely good listening: exotic yet tinged with hints of the western
world.Sissoko is a master of the talking drums (the tamani).From childhood, he played tamani, often accompanying the traditional female griot during wedding and other traditional ceremonies.In 1985, he toured internationally with the prestigious Instrumental Ensemble of Mali orchestra, playing the tamani and ngoni.Nacional of Cuba and the Gipsy Kings).He also has taught traditional drum in Brussels, Belgium, and led conferences for the University of Calibre's Art, Music, and Spectacle Centre in Italy.You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Baba Sissoko (born 8 March 1963 in Bamako, Mali) is a musician (tamani,
