Boston Debut

Perpetuating Mali’s rich musical tradition, Fatoumata Diawara presents a joyous mix of the vibrant and understated, combining songs about love, politics and empowerment with arresting melodies soaring over intricate guitar arrangements. Inspired by Wassoulou tradition, jazz and blues, Diawara has created her own unique contemporary folk sound with a distinctly African spin which can be heard on her self-composed and arranged debut album, Fatou.

Subscription discounts are not available for this performance.
