This is Fatoumata Diawara at the Musical Instrument Museum that we were fortunate enough to see this evening. Fatoumata is from Mali in Africa though it appears she has taken up residence in France. Not only is she an acclaimed musician who has shared the stage with Paul McCartney, but she’s an actress that has appeared in about a dozen films. Her closing number was an amazing romp of high energy during which she was able to bring the audience to their feet joining in the celebration. After a couple of songs for her encore, she brought nearly two dozen people on stage with her to dance the performance to a close.
