Mamadou is a musical emissary in the true Manding (peoples inhabiting a large area of the upper Niger Valley of western Africa) tradition, He has inherited the Griot tradition (a storyteller in western Africa who perpetuates the oral tradition and history of a vllage or family) from his mother's family who have provided musuc to the area for many years. Mamadou specialises in playing the 22 stringed African Harp - The Kora, combining Mandinkan songs with haunting melodies, imploring praise, witty proverbs and delicate lyricism.
