He took up guitar after hearing the music of Jimi Hendrix and James Brown and played in one of Mali's best-known dance bands, Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako.{{cite web|url=https://www.thetimes.com/uk/obituaries/article/amadou-bagayoko-obituary-malian-musician-in-blind-duo-shlxs3rfj |website=thetimes.com |title=Obituary Amadou Bagayoko: Malian guitarist in blind duo |date=14 April 2025 | access-date=14 April 2025}}
