After her courses she became interested in music despite the will of her parents, who over time accepted her decision by attributing it to fate. Thus Djénéba was driven on the road to music by her husband Madou Bah Traore.Together they formed their group "Farafina Lolo' with the highly talented Madou Bah as the guitarist and arranger . Equipped with a beautiful voice Djénéba was soon on the national level.
Djénéba was one of the Malian music stars who turned out in the early 90s with the release of her first cassette "dougou dassiri ",a big success in Mali and soon with Farafina Lolo they performed throughout Mali and the whole sub-region.
Djénéba Diakité became known in Abidjan appealing to the Malian expatriate community there but also in Burkina Faso, Niger and Benin where was known as a reference wassoulou star from Mali.European tours followed closely ..
A second cassette named Liberia confirmed her class,but the album was widely pirated .Still Djénéba was not discouraged and she recorded a third album that was also pirated before its official release....
