Fatoumata Diawara (Sutherland)

'Spell-weaving new voice from West Africa.' MOJO

Born on the Ivory Coast and based in France, Fatoumata Diawara blends jazz and blues with the traditional Wassoulou music of her Malian parents to create her own contemporary folk sound.

Her debut album, Fatou, is a testament to her musical style - the fluid and graceful African rhythms infused with global influences, led by her lithe and sensual voice. This is a perfect opportunity to see a fresh new talent with a unique sound and a bagful of beautiful self-penned songs.

Fatoumata Diawara also appears at The Idolize Spiegeltent, Parramatta and at The Famous Spiegeltent, Hyde Park.
