Toma Sidibé

Family music show, Mandinka reggaeAmiens, France2015

Born in Côte d’Ivoire and raised in Amiens, Toma Sidibé went to Mali at 17 to learn the djembe and Bambara from Séga Sidibé, whose name he took. His music blends reggae, French chanson and Mandinka rhythms, from Taga Ka Segin (2000), recorded in Bamako, to Mali Mélo (2002), Matin d’exil (2007), Bal Poussière (2015) and Yélé ma petite lumière (2020).

He also creates children’s shows, including Taamaba, le grand voyage and Le Génie Donkili, which the Académie Charles Cros singled out.

He came to Les Mouillotins in 2010 and again in 2015.
