PCHA

Siaka Traoré — better known as Pcha — is part of a new wave of Malian artists reshaping what West African music can sound like. Born and raised in Sikasso, he grew up surrounded by rhythm, the son of the legendary Neba Solo, one of Mali’s most celebrated balafonists. Pcha mastered the balafon at an early age, but his vision was always bigger than tradition alone.
