Fatoumata Diawara

On 21 May 2026 at the Théâtre de Corbeil‑Essonnes in Corbeil‑Essonnes, Fatoumata Diawara presents on stage the songs from her new album. A singer and actress repeatedly nominated for the Grammy Awards and the Victoires de la Musique, she moves between Mandingue heritage and contemporary sounds, with writing that blends languages, rhythms and guitars. After the joint tour with -M- around Lamomali, she extends this taste for encounters and for building bridges between continents. Her music summons Malian traditions and connects them to afrobeat, jazz, pop and hip‑hop, in supple grooves and airy arrangements where the voice remains at the centre.

She has been heard collaborating with many artists, including Damon Albarn, and this spirit of collaboration is audible in an open set attentive to the interplay between acoustic and electronic. Without grandiose effects, Fatoumata Diawara composes a shared space, rooted in the present and curious about tomorrow, often placed within an afrofuturist vein. An occasion to follow closely an artist who renews her roots in real time, on stage, here and now.
