BKO is a fresh and modern super-quintet from MALI which performs an electrified and danceable set of Malian music. Associating the guitar of griots with the lute of Bambara hunters had never been undertaken before in the Malian music universe. It is indeed two opposite worlds that BKO have decided to bring up together in order to develop a resolutely unique urban music style rooted in secular tradition.
