In 2021 The great Kady Diarra comes back with her family to burn the boards with a 3rd incandescent album! In a shared celebration spirit, she offers us a compendium of humanity(ies) that plunges its roots in the heart of West Africa, between multiple cultures and globalised humanism.
Sweet trance concerts in which the commitments of this woman of a thousand faces and her incomparable sense of celebration read beyond this album four languages: the universal message carried by an extraordinary voice and personality... And musicians who are united to her energies!
After numerous experiences as a dancer and a singer in various companies in Africa and several tours in Europe ( Foliba, Suruntu Kunu, Gondwana, Wountey), Kady Diarra took her destiny in hand and started her group in 1997. Originated in Bobo Dioulasso,
Burkina Faso, she grew up in a Griot family, at the sound of traditional ceremonies that rule Burkina's life while opening herself to other West African music.
After more than 600 shows since 1999, Kady and her five musicians enthused with some communicative energy, offer a stage world in which the sensuality of Sahel music and the festive energy of African drumming merge into an explosive fusion of ancestral tradition and celebration giving birth to an exhilarating show.
