Kouyate, Kankou
N'darila
Kankou Kouyate is the niece of the N'Goni genius Bassekou Kouyate. One of the most respected Griot families in Mali; growing up surrounded with music, descendent from generations of the nest N'goni players in the country, she became the music student of her uncle Cheick Oumar Diabate at the age of ten. With "N'Darila", her rst solo album, Kankou goes back to her roots. Kankou's texts are philosophical in the Manding tradition, where she interprets her social surroundings and society. She speaks about woman's rights and good behaviour towards your fellow humans.
