Fatoumata Diawara
An uplifting afropop night.
Fatoumata Diawara is pure energy. Her vibrant voice tells the story of Africa—its suffering and its rediscovered joys—sung in her mother tongue, Bambara. She is a captivating artist, able to stir emotions, to make her audience laugh, cry, and above all, dance. A free woman above all else, she uses art as a path. Through her singing, she addresses crucial subjects such as female genital mutilation and forced marriage—personal hardships that she transforms into a universal message of hope and resilience. Having fled Mali at the age of 19 to write her own story, Fatoumata Diawara continues, at 43, to examine society’s flaws while celebrating her dual life as an artist and a mother.
