The Senufo tribe are found in Ivory Coast, Mali and Burkina Faso, and this balafon music is heard quite a lot around West Africa. Personally I find it a bit repetitive and boring (sorry to my Ivorian Senufo husband!) It goes on and on and on. (A bit like me sometimes hee hee!) My user name is an adaptation of the word Senufo. My husband's father, a Senufo, was called Noufou (their name for Noah) from Nafamadougou in Northern Ivory Coast. 'Fou' means 'mad' in French. |

To my mind the all-time master of this is instrument is the Malian Kélétigui Diabaté (1931 – 30 November 2012). He made many innovations including playing two balafons tuned differently so that he could change the basically diatonic instrument into an almost fully chromatic one. When you have an hour to spare give your ears, in fact your whole being a treat by listening to Great masters of the balafon - A tribute to Kélétigui Diabaté |
