Balafon is a traditional West African music genre that originated in the Mali Empire. It is characterized by its use of the balafon, a wooden xylophone-like instrument, as its primary instrument. The balafon is played with two wooden sticks, and is accompanied by a variety of percussion instruments, such as drums, bells, and shakers. The music is typically upbeat and lively, and often features call-and-response singing. Balafon music is often used in ceremonies and celebrations, and is an important part of many West African cultures.
