After a chance meeting with Ella Fitzgerald and other jazz musicians during a music festival in Paris, France, Keletigui developed the balafon sounds you hear today. Because balafons only have a single scale's tones, he uses two which are offset by a half step in order to play as though on a marimba or piano. His son, who also plays saxophone, learned balafon from his father and plays in Mali.
At the moment Keletigui plays in the band Bamada which tours internationally with Habib Koite. Habib Koite and Bamada have been playing together for 15 years.
