FRONT COVER
Born in Côte d’Ivoire, raised in Mali and now
based in Paris, Fatoumata Diawara – singer,
songwriter, musician, actor and dancer – has
created her own unique contemporary folk
sound, inspired by Wassoulou tradition, jazz
and blues with an African spin. She presents
a joyous mix of the vibrant and understated,
combining songs about love, politics and
empowerment. Diawara is pictured here
mesmerizing the audience at the Wobeon
Music Festival in Austin, Texas.
