A party! With her swinging fusion style, singer-songwriter Kady Diarra celebrates life in an extroverted way. Her third studio album Burkina Hakili was recorded in a garden in the Ardèche (southwestern France) during the first lockdown from April to May 2020. Diarra is from Burkina Faso and belongs to the Bwaba tribe: 'When you hear Bwaba, you hear jazz.' Fundamental to the Burkina is cultural
… openness and human unity. Diarra sings in several (folk) languages and the fusion of cultures and languages also extends to Western music. Virtuoso playing of the traditional balafon and n'goni sounds fraternally next to the western instruments like electric guitar and drums. In her songs she sings about the strong role of women and themes like happiness, forgiveness, patience, freedom, migration of the Bwaba people and the African diaspora. (SvdP)more
