Toba Seydou Traore was born in the early 1960s near Bougouni in Mali, where as a young child he heard the music of hunters. Seydou’s ensuing fascination led to much family conflict, but he persisted, later becoming an apprentice of renowned musician Yoro Sidibe and eventually a master in his own right. Whilst herding the family livestock Seydou would fashion his own instruments out of spare bicycle parts and play as he sat with the animals. The unfinished chores that resulted would anger his father who would beat him for his insolence.
