BKO Quintet was born during the state of emergency in Bamako (2012), emerging from the meeting of four Malian and one French musician. Their music blends tradition and modernity, acoustic and electric sounds, harmony and trance in what they themselves call "trad actual".

BKO Quintet’s reputation as a live band is huge, with tens of concerts on all continents. Their tour in Southern Africa is organized and supported by the Alliance Française network and the French Institute of South Africa.

Come for this journey into the heart of contemporary Mali!
