She belongs to a lineage of Griots, traditional West African historians, storytellers, poets, and musicians, whose role has been to preserve and pass on the cultural heritage of their people through generations. Keïta has taken her heritage and interwoven it with modern influences, creating a hybrid sound that resonates with global audiences.

Mamani Keïta's career was given a significant boost through her collaboration with French musician and producer Marc Minelli, which resulted in the album "Electro Bamako," a project that brought her traditional sound into an innovative electronic soundscape. Her powerful voice and experimental approach to music have taken her on a journey through genres, leading to a series of notable albums including "Yelema," produced by Nicolas Repac, and "Gagner l'argent français," which delves into the economic struggles faced by African artists. "Kanou" and "N'Ka Willy" further showcase Mamani's ability to create music that is both rooted in her Malian culture and appealing to a global audience, cementing her reputation as a modern ambassador for West African music.
