Kangaba is the historic capital of the Mandingo Empire, located 90 kilometers from modern day Bamako to the Guinean border.
Kangaba instruments are all produced in the traditional way. Carved from locally available wood by traditional craftsmen and metal shaped by traditional blacksmiths, Kangaba instruments transmit the original vibration, warmth and power from the Mandingo empire.
Since 2000, Kangaba plants (with the participation of its craftspeople) a variety of trees they use to produce their instruments.
