The son of revered Malian great Abdoulaye Diabaté, Iba’s voice was noticed at an early age in the village of Yorosso, east of Bamako near the border with Burkina Faso. Iba sings mostly in his native Bambara, but also in French, English and Spanish, singing about respect, peace, love and social injustice.

Fils du révéré Abdoulaye Diabaté, la voix d’Iba a été remarquée dès son jeune âge à Yorosso, son village à l’Est de Bamako, à proximité de la frontière avec le Burkina Faso. Iba chante surtout dans son Bambara natif, mais aussi en Français, Anglais et Espagnol, il nous parle de respect, de paix, d’amour et d’injustices sociales.
