Diakassan Moussa was the son of Midia, of the family of Diakité, current chiefs of Bougouni. He served as ambassador to the king bambara of Segou. During his multiple journeys, Diakassan learned Arabic and converted to Islam. At his death, his parents remained animists, inhumèrent with his holy books, according to the fetishist custom. Before dying, Diakassan asked God that a tree grows at the bedside of his grave so that his soul is immortal. His wishes were fulfilled: A majestic balanzan stands next to his grave. This is where ritual sacrifices are taking place (kola, chickens, cattle…). These ceremonies are always led by the Dean of the Diakité Clan.
