Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, with a magnificent voice and a powerful expressiveness that leaves no one unmoved, is an iconic figure on the Malian music scene. She is the daughter of Kasse Mady Diabaté, a griot and a key figure in Malian music who was nicknamed "Mali's golden voice." Hawa's latest album, Toumaro, is a moving tribute to her father's legacy and a beautiful way of connecting with him spiritually through music. The music and lyrics in this concert are his and celebrate the beauty and depth of Malian music. For the first time in the history of the Jazz Festival, audiences are treated to traditional music from Mali of the highest class!
