Malian singer, musician, and producer Sidiki Diabaté hails from a celebrated lineage of kora players, preceded by his trailblazing father, Toumani Diabaté, and grandfather Sidiki Diabaté Sr., for whom he is named. Both honoring and adding new layers to the family's griot tradition, Sidiki studied the kora -- an entrancing native sub-Saharan harp-like instrument made from a hollowed-out gourd -- from a young age, but has also branched out into bright Afro-pop music and electronic production, sometimes combining all of these elements on albums like 2016's Diabateba Music, Vol. 1 and 2019's Béni.
The Diabaté family has produced griots -- a sort of hereditary bard, poet, or musician -- for many generations, a large number of them gifted kora players. Sidiki's grandfather, a Malian legend, helped bring the instrument into the modern world by making the first kora recording in 1970, while his father Toumani helped popularize the instrument's unique sound around the world through his many acclaimed albums and collaborations with artists outside of African music. For his part, Sidiki began learning the family instrument as a boy, though instruction from his father was scant, leaving the young griot instead to chart his own creative course and develop his own influences. Growing up in the 1990s and early 2000s, he balanced a love of kora tradition with the vibrant contemporary music he heard around him, from hip-hop and R&B to electronic and various facets of Afro-pop.
The early part of Sidiki's career was more focused on hip-hop production, often with rapper and fellow griot Iba One, though he also established himself as a skilled kora player. In 2014, Sidiki and his father teamed up to record a beguiling collection of father-son kora duets simply titled Toumani & Sidiki. Honoring and improvising on ancient kora pieces, the critically lauded album served to introduce Sidiki to the larger world music community. He made his own solo debut in 2016 with Diabateba Music, Vol. 1, a more Afro-pop-leaning album that showed his skill as a singer, songwriter, and producer. The following year, Sidiki and his father joined French rock musician -M- to form the trio Lamomali, releasing a self-titled album. Returning to solo work, he again combined R&B and hip-hop elements with occasional traditional flourishes on 2019's Béni. Another single, "Conscience tranquille," appeared in 2020. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi

The total plays count is calculated based on all the tracks listed in the "Most popular tracks" section. Spotify does not provide this data, and it is quite tricky to compute in some cases. You should consider this as an estimation, more than an exact value. The data is not real time, but we try to update it as often as possible.
