Modlin@Boatwright: A Conversation with Fatoumata Diawara

Join the Modlin Center and Boatwright Library for an informal conversation with Malian vocalist and songwriter, Fatoumata Diawara. The event is free and will take place from 12:00 – 1:00 pm on Tuesday, February 11 in the first floor of the library. Perpetuating Mali’s rich musical tradition, Fatoumata Diawara combines songs about love, politics, and empowerment with arresting melodies soaring over intricate guitar and drum arrangements. Inspired by Wassoulou tradition, jazz, and blues, Diawara has created her own unique contemporary folk sound, with a distinctly African spin.
