Malian guitarist Djelimady (or Jalimadi) Tounkara of the Super Rail Band has developed a style that evokes the sound of the kora harp, the balafon xylophone and and the ngoni lute. His acoustic trio Bajourou (with guitarist Bouba Sacko and singer Lafia Diabate) is documented on Big String Theory (1993). His first solo was the mediocre Sigui (2001).
