Kandia Kouyaté
A Malian national treasure and quite possibly that country's greatest female singer, Kandia Kouyate is what her countrymen call a ngara, a person with almost supernatural powers. And from her singing, it's quite feasible that she possesses them; she not only exudes charisma, even on CD, but there's also a sense that she's barely using the extent of her gifts.

Few voices can truly command attention, but Kandia Kouyate is one of them. This collection of her songs based in the Bambara tradition is acoustic, a perfect setting for her. In addition to standard instruments like djembe, the marimba-like balofon, guitar, and ngoni, flute features occasionally, as do Indian violin and saxophone. Apart from offering 11 tracks of superb music, this record proves that Kouyate is the equal of the best divas in the world and deserves the respect that goes along with it.
Released in 2002 on Stern's Africa.
