 | | Since there are many different strains of Malian music, there was no name to cover it all. |
 | | So Koité, who is keenly interested in creating a new, pan-Malian music that accepts influences of all types of music inside and outside of Mali, came up with a Bambara term, danssa doso, which he coined by combining two words. |
 | | "Danssa is a popular rhythm in Keyes, Mali, and doso means 'hunter,'." he explained. |
