Damon Albarn, Toumani Diabaté, Herbie Hancock and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones are just a few of the major players who have fallen for Malian/Ivorian songbird Fatoumata Diawara’s effortless musical charm, as her presence has lit up shows by Africa Express, AfroCubism and Hancock’s Imagine project. Venue described her live show as follows: ‘a soul-drenched performance, with resonances from Oumou Sangare to Nina Simone’. I couldn’t say it better.
Witness Fatou work her magic at London’s Jazz Cafe this Thursday October 13 where she will no doubt be performing material from her stellar new album Fatou.
