Born in Côte d'Ivoire to Malian parents, the strikingly beautiful and talented Fatoumata Diawara moved to France to pursue acting, appearing in several films and in the internationally renowned street theatre troupe Royal de Luxe. She later took up the guitar, writing songs that blend Wassalou traditions of southern Mali with international influences.
Noted for her sensuous voice, she has performed and recorded with Oumou Sangaré, AfroCubism, Dee Dee Bridgewater and released her debut album in 2011. In 2012 she was featured in the campaign 30 Songs / 30 Days, a multi-platform media project inspired by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Fatoumata’s 2013 world tour was “one of the breakout performances of this year’s (2013) edition of Globalfest” - (NPR Music) and culminated in a landmark performance at Glastonbury and as part of the Clinton Global Initiative.
At BRIC House she will perform a rousing show with her propulsive band.
