Fatoumata Diawara: Guardian Live Session

Malian singer-songwriter Fatoumata Diawara has been taking the world by storm with her smooth and soothing voice. Having enthralled audiences at 2011's WOMAD Charlton Park and provided stunning support to Afrocubismearlier this year, Diawara has recently visited the Guardian studio to enchant us with an exclusive live version of the song 'Clandestin' from her album 'Fatou' on World Circuit records. Her music blends the Wassalou tradition of southern Mali with external influences to create a warm, friendly and sensual sound whether performing solo or in a group. Enjoy!
