Rokia Traore announced to play Womadelaide, March 2009, in beautiful Botanic Park, Adelaide. With her twangy Gretsch electric guitar, singer-songwriter Rokia Traore has transformed Western conceptions of West African music, introducing a blues and rock edge to a still noticeable African sound. While she sings in the Malian language Bambara, her experimental sound declares that she is not a Malian traditional singer, but a true modern original.

  • sad

  • This is "Dounia". It is the "official" clip. Not WOMAD 2009! Excellent artist.

  • She was astonishing at WOMADelaide! A woman on fire! But this video's title is false advertising and should be renamed or removed.

  • i was there last night at womad. she turned my world upside down. she is genius.

  • Thanks for posting this - does anyone know the name of this song?

  • That would have been wonderful to see, the Botanic Garden in Adelaide is beautiful :)

    I'm going to see her on the 12th @ wolftrap in VA (USA) :) I can't wait.
