He played in Burkina Faso and abroad, including the New Morning.
In 2004, with the support of French Cultural Center in Bobo Dioulasso, he recorded his first album, Uncle Cool. In 2006 he produced a second album: Bako, the other side.
In 2010, Kantala released his 3rd album, Dounouya.

KANTAL Tafdjani is the creator of a musical inspired by the Senufo and colorful heritage of blues accents, based on the blending of the kora, percussion, traditional and modern instruments. His bittersweet voice, this "prince of ethno-pop" (Vincent Garrigues, RFI) sings the joys and sorrows of those here and elsewhere, their travel dreams, their desire for another world and their disillusionment ... songs that sound like an "African fado (CCF Georges Melies, 2010).

Abdoulaye Traore has completed internships with prestigious artists such as Ray Lema, Jacques-Greg Belobo. He has his own studio that records his original music for film and advertising as well as his latest album. It is also manufacturer and n'goni koras. It teaches the practice of these traditional instruments and singing.
