Nominated at the Grammy Awards and the Victoires de la Musique in 2019; awarded best female artist at the Awards d’Afrique 2020; nominated for the AEAUSA in 2022, Fatoumata Diawara earned the highest honours with a record that condensed the essence of her musical journey since Fatou (2011). She casts the keen eye of an African woman over controversial issues in contemporary society. The perfect combination of electronic sounds and the traditional melodies of a kora or N’goni, Mandinka rhythms in the percussion and Fatou’s griotic voice, was carefully reflected by her production company, Montuno, and by Mathieu Cheddid, who accompanied her on guitar and co-produced the album.
