Fatoumata Diawara - Fatou

Recorded in London and Paris in 2011, Fatou established Fatoumata Diawara as one of Mali's most versatile contemporary singer-songwriters. Combining warm acoustic guitar picking with Wassoulou vocal melodies, Diawara addresses female genital mutilation, migration and modern African womanhood with melodic grace on standout tracks Bissa, Kanou and Sowa.
