Uppsala Concert & Congress presents Fatoumata Diawara, one of the most powerful and innovative voices in contemporary West African music. Rooted in the Wassoulou tradition and influenced by afropop, soul and rock, Diawara has developed a distinctive musical language marked by virtuosity and strong storytelling. Her work moves between the personal and the political, addressing themes of identity, migration and women’s rights with rhythm, hope and intensity. With her new album Massa, she returns with a highly energetic live performance, led by a stage presence as magnetic as it is visually striking.
