Rokia Traore - Bowmboi
(Tama / Label Bleu 2003/ LBLC 2594)
The daughter of a Malian diplomat she built her career in France before returning to Mali and is only now becoming a star there. She’s now being hailed as a ‘world diva’, and is among the nominations for Best African Artist in the BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music. This is an album full of contemplative and meditative pleasures….certainly worth adding to your collection.
