Aly Keita was born in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, in 1969 to Malian parents and is a Malian national. He comes from a Malinké family that has practiced the profession of “griots” (traditional singers and musicians) for generations. He spent his childhood in Abidjan and Mali, where he first learned to play the traditional pentatonic balafon with Zouratié Coulibaly. In 1986, he met Georges Makinto, with whom he played jazz music for the first time. He developed his own diatonic balafon, which opened up new possibilities and styles for him.
