The Grammy Award nominee, famous for blending southern Malian music with her ubiquitous red Gibson, had the pleasure of being photographed at the side of a Premier Inn bar in Bristol (massive thanks to the staff there for being extra helpful to a photographer turning up under the impression we had a meeting room set up…)
The full interview by Rod Brakes is a great read, delving into Fatoumata’s influences and style.
