Description

World music
Fatoumata Diawara is pure energy. A leading figure on the contemporary African music scene, she creates a vibrant world that blends traditional Malian rhythms, Afrobeat, jazz, pop, electronic music and hip-hop. Her luminous and powerful voice tells the story of Africa – its sorrows, its hopes and its rediscovered joys – sung in her mother tongue, Bambara. A free spirit above all else, she transforms her personal journey into a work of social commitment, addressing themes such as female genital mutilation, forced marriage and women’s empowerment through her songs. A singer, composer and accomplished guitarist, Fatoumata Diawara has made her mark through three critically acclaimed albums and prestigious collaborations with Oumou Sangaré, Bobby Womack, Herbie Hancock, Paul McCartney, Amadou and Mariam, Dee Dee Bridgewater and, more recently, Damon Albarn, David Walters and M throughout the Lamomali project. On stage, her magnetic charisma and warmth sweep the audience away in a whirlwind of emotions and rhythms. A rare, vibrant and unforgettable presence!
