Samba Diabaté is one of the most esteemed guitarists in Bamako, regularly called on by all the prestigious ambassadors of Mandingo music, from Toumani Diabaté to Djelimady Tounkara. Vincent Zanetti is the former stage companion of late djembe legend Soungalo Coulibaly. He accompanies Samba Diabaté on zena, a bridge harp of the kora family recently created by the lute maker Gweltas Simon, as well as guitar and various African percussion instruments.
