about
Guitari Baro (meaning, Guitar Conversations) is a highly innovative, virtuosic instrumental trio, consisting of three outstanding griot (hereditary) musicians from Guinea and Mali, in a unique format of two guitars and balafon. Members Gaoussou Kouyaté (guitarist from Mali): Renowned for his virtuosity in the griot tradition. Kerfala Diabaté (guitarist from Guinea): Brings generations of Guinean guitar mastery to the ensemble. Lassana Diabaté (balafon master from Guinea): Provides rhythmic foundation and has been praised for Bach-like stature by Kronos Quartet's David Harrington. The trio formed in late 2024 in Dakar, blending Mande heritage with global influences like jazz and rumba. Their self-titled debut album, released in September 2025 on Chrysalis Global, captures their "guitar conversations."
