Ensuing projects included several collaborations, including Mutua (2012) with jazz saxophonist Wolfgang Puschnig, The Snow Owl: Normas (2014) with Juan García-Herreros, and Masaba Kan (2014) with Cheick Tidiane Seck and kora player Toumani Diabaté as guest artists.

Diabaté was born in 1973 into a jeli musician family in southwest Burkina Faso. At five years old, he began musical training with his father Penegue Diabaté, who was known for his balafon playing throughout his Sambla-speaking home region and elsewhere in Burkina Faso. Three years later, he began apprenticeships with other regionally renowned balafon players. At the age of 11, he moved from his home village to Bobo-Dioulasso, where he honed his balafon playing and learned other percussion instruments including the talking drum and djembe. Three years later Diabaté began playing with his father in an ensemble that received first prize at the arts competition of the 1988 National Culture Week of Burkina Faso in Koudougou and Reo. In 1998, he won the prize again in Bobo-Dioulasso as a founding member of the traditional music ensemble Landaya.
