Rokia Traoré is indeed a remarkable artist, and it is difficult to think of anyone else who can switch from ancient Malian culture to acting and then to African rock and roll. She will be touring Europe in May, performing in Desdemona in Amsterdam and Naples in June, then returning to Europe at the end of June for what promises to be a ROKIA TRAORE

Ka fo i ka don (be aware in bambara) As far as you are part of life, regardless of sorrow that you feel from the wounds of your time, don’t give up hope, trust in yourself, trust in a better life possible. Hope is not in the desert. In the deep ocean there is no life. Be aware brother, Be aware sister. “NÉ SO” WEST-AFRICAN BLUES-ROCK CONCERT Any success is based on a reason. Any failure is based on a goal without a reason. These are the opening words, feverishly sung in Bambara, of the song Kenia in Rokia Traoré’s sixth album Né So (“Home”). And the best way to encapsulate the Mali-born singer’s strength

ROKIA TRAORE
ROKIA TRAORE, biographie > english version L’indépendance d’esprit ne se gagne pas que part des combats et des revendications. Elle s’acquiert aussi au jour le jour, par la compréhension intime de soi comme par l’attention portée à autrui et au monde extérieur ; elle s’apprend et se raffine au fil de temps, tel un métier qui exigerait patience et application.

Mélancolie au fond de ton abîme. Tu tairas les tourments qui me hantent. Plus jamais je n’entendrai tous ces maux. Qui m’éloignent des lumières de la vie. Je narguerai le doute malicieux. Et j’entendrai l’espoir murmurer. Ses doux mots, ô mélancolie. Mélancolie danse __

Brighton, UK
DREAM MANDÉ BAMANAN DJOUROU Dream Mandé Bamanan Djourou is a music show based on covers of traditional Bambara songs and adaptations of French songs (Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré). Five musicians and six female singers led by Rokia Traoré are taking part in the show, made of vocal and instrumental arrangements of traditional melodies, resulting in an artistic body of work which, in the end, deviates significantly from traditional music and offers outstanding harmonies and rhythms.
