Samba Toure was born in 1965 in Gao, Mali, and grew up listening to traditional Malian music. As a teenager, he began playing locally, inspired by desert blues, griot storytelling, and guitar masters such as Ali Farka Touré. Toure, known for his expressive voice and sophisticated guitar techniques, refined his art by singing at community events and fusing Malian folk melodies with current blues to create a distinct, characteristic sound.

Toure's debut album, Amanar (1998), received international recognition for combining desert blues and heartfelt storytelling. He toured Europe and North America, including appearances at WOMAD, Jazz à Vienne, and Glastonbury. "Sina" and "Touareg Blues" charted on world music charts. Collaborations include Toumani Diabaté and Vieux Farka Touré. His performances garnered him several Mali Music Awards, cementing his position as a key player in Malian blues.
