Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
A native of Mali, Hadja Fanta Diabaté comes from the large Diabaté family of the Mandé griots.
Hadja Fanta Diabaté started music as an autodidact. Gradually, she joined the world of culture and made friends with Pope Sene and Kora Dembele, then National Director of Cultural Action in Mali. Self-taught, her obsession with handling the guitar ended up paying off. From then on, she cut her way, began composing her pieces, and was quickly noticed thanks to the timbre of her voice, which is out of the ordinary. She began musical entertainment in various key locations in Bamako.
Her songs speak about the life and realities of today's world. Nowadays, her repertoire is beyond imagination as she has a multitude of original works under her arm. On June 18, 2016, Hadja Fanta Diabaté launched "Toubani" and "Kanou," her singles, at a press conference where journalists and the public were conquered by her talent. A week after the official release of her singles, she was selected by a German organization during an audition whose purpose was to give a live show at the French Institute. Her project is to reveal to the world the cultural richness of Mali in its diversity but also to make her own emancipated music.
Quickly, she started to be well-known in the region and overseas; she played in Haiti in 2017 and France in 2018. Apart from her own solo project, she started a collective project called The Warrior of Mané (Les guerrières du Mandé) in 2017 with great success in Mali and Guinea.
In 2021, Hadja started a new cooperation with the composer and producer Mr. Luigi Panico @Figliodipan production. A new album is to come soon...
Her new ALBUM, "SABALY," was launched on February 8, 2019. "The Queen of Mandingue Rock," as per the saying of the Malian press, makes us travel in her universe with a very emotional and rhythmic album. "Sabaly" - patience - for such a young dynamic woman!
Her unique African rock voice and style make her the future great star of African music, according to the newspaper La Sirène.
