Born in 1937, Ibrahim Hamma Dicko started singing very early in childhood because he was discovered to be a wonderful interpreter of Koranic verses during religious ceremonies. He settled in Gao, a little town in Mali on the edge of the desert beside the Niger River, between Timbuktu and Niamey. His songs are the real proof of the diversity and richness of Malian music, revealing such great talents as Salif Keïta, Nahawa Doumbia, Abdoulaye Diabaté and Oumou Sangaré just to mention a few.
