Boldly modern yet respectful of her Malian roots, Fatoumata Diawara's music draws from her heritage but has a vision that looks confidently to the future. A multiple Grammy nominee noted for the electric power of her music, her live performances “scream with energy” (NPR) and her stage presence is “hypnotic” and “captivating” (Rolling Stone). Diawara harmonizes the Wassoulou traditions of Southern Mali with soul, R&B, and funk and covers such timeless subjects as love, respect, migration, family, and how to build a better world.
Presented in association with City Winery.
