Salimata Diakite is a singer working within the Mandé musical tradition of West Africa. Rooted in the griot lineage, this style draws from longstanding praise-song forms and regional storytelling, and became widely circulated during the height of cassette culture across Mali and neighbouring countries.
The music of Salimata Diakite carries the cyclical guitar patterns and percussive drive characteristic of Mandé music, while retaining a raw, unembellished sound typical of independent cassette-era releases.
