Fatoumata Diawara biography

Fatoumata Diawara (born 1982) is a Malian musician currently living in France. Born in the Ivory Coast to Malian parents, Diawara moved to France to pursue acting, appearing in Cheikh Oumar Cissoko's 1999 feature film La Genèse, Dani Kouyaté's popular 2001 film Sia, le rêve du python, in the internationally renowned street theatre troupe Royal Deluxe, and played a leading role in the musical Kirikou et Karaba. She later took up the guitar and began composing her own material, writing songs that blend Wassalou traditions of Southern Mali with international influences. Noted for her distinct “sensuous voice,” she has performed and recorded with Oumou Sangaré, AfroCubism, Dee Dee Bridgewater (on Red Earth: A Malian Journey), and the Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou. Her new EP was released May 9, 2011 and her debut album Fatou with World Circuit Records was released in September 2011.

  • What's interesting in Gdansk?

    Gdansk is considered to be one of the most interesting Polish cities, but many tourists exclude it from its program, preferring Krakow, Wroclaw and Warsaw. During its long history, Gdansk has absorbed many different traits: medieval churches are replaced by a typical Soviet building, and all this is piquantly complemented by the sea breeze. Discover and love this harsh but extraordinarily beautiful city.
