FATOUMATA DIAWARA ETINSEL MALOYAFATOUMATA DIAWARA ETINSEL MALOYA

Fatumata Diawara is a pure energy. His vibrant voice tells of Africa, its sufferings and its joys, sung in his mother tongue, the Bambara. She is an enchanting artist, able to stir up emotions, make her laugh, cry, and above all, make her dance. Free woman above all, she uses art as a way. Through her song, she addresses the crucial topics of excision and forced marriage, personal hardships that she transforms into a universal message of hope and resilience. Having fled Mali at the age of 19 to write its own story, Fatoumata Diawara continues, at 43, to study through society while celebrating her dual life as an artist and mother. A major figure in contemporary African music, Fatumata Diawara embodies a modern, free and deeply alive Africa. His powerful and inhabited voice crosses the boundaries between the mandingue tradition, folk, groove and contemporary sounds, in a music as committed as it is luminous.Between the mandingue vibrations of Fatumata Diawara and the telluric pulses of La Réunion, this evening celebrates a plural Africa, living and moving. Etinsel Maloya embodies this new generation that brings together heritage and modernity. Led by Jordan Périgone alias LAFRIKIN, the collective reinvents the maloya with burning energy, hypnotic rhythms and deep human intensity. Between trance, Creole poetry and contemporary breath, their music makes the memories as much as the bodies dance. Revealed to the general public with the success of the title Biyn arrived, a true sharing hymn seen more than 2 million times, Etinsel Maloya wears the colors of a young reunitee proud of its roots and turned to the world. A musical crossing between Africa, the Indian Ocean and Creolity, where traditions become bridges and rhythms, universal languages.
