FATOUMATA DIAWARA

Submitted by Jodi on October 17, 2018 - 16:15

Boldly modern yet respectful of her Malian roots, Fatoumata Diawara creates music that draws from her heritage but with a vision that looks confidently to the future. Her live performances “scream with energy” (NPR), with songs covering such timeless subjects as respect, love, migration, family, and how to build a better world.
