On Tour

Rokia Traoré

With her new album Bowmboi, Rokia Traoré draws on the vast diversity of cultures she has experienced. Born into a well-educated Malian family, Traoré is the daughter of diplomat and has lived everywhere from North Africa to the Middle East to Europe, as well as in the Malian capital, Bamako, where she was once a member of a high school rap group. In 1996, she appeared on Mali’s foremost music TV program with two songs, “Finini” and “Mouineïssa,” which became local hits and were later included on her debut album.
