Biographie
Born in Kissidougou in the great line of the Kouyaté griots — he descended from Balla Fasseké, the djeli of Soundiata Keïta —, Djeli Fodé Kouyaté is the nephew of Mory Kanté, who provided his musical education. His albums "Saaltou" (1995) and "Kourousaka" (1997) carry a pop mandingue to the committed texts, between praise, memory and look at Guinean society. He occurs in Guinea and diaspora.
