The new album is an impressive mixture of her musical reach in which she shows in an exciting way without putting herself in a box. The soul-soaked songs are from cool melodic Afro pop to light blues and back to the African beats. On February 7, 2019, the singer will come to our Grote Zaal with these beautiful songs and other classics from her records. We are very curious!
FATOUMATA DIAWARA
Thursday 7 February 2019 2019
Seven years ago, after an acting career, Fatoumata Diawara put herself in the spotlights with her debut album ‘Fatou’. This seemed to have been a good choice as her career went very well and she even got to work together with Cuban pianst Roberto Fonseca. After a period of beautiful moments and releasing a live album it was about time for a new solo record. And so that was made! In the beginning of 2018 ‘Fenfo’ was suddenly there, which can be translated as ‘Something To Say’.
“ Fenfo proves her to be one of the most dynamic voices in Afropop today. “
