Les Amazones D'Afrique Amazones Power LP Vinyl

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. Les Amazones D'Afrique is a creative force that embraces international voices; sweet, strong harmonies that summon the rights of women and girls; and a meltdown of heritage and new gen talent. They were formed in Bamako, Mali, in 2014 by three renowned Malian music stars and social change activists, Mamani Ke?ta, Oumou Sangar? and Mariam Doumbia, and the collective has since expanded to involve many female artists from across Africa and the diaspora. Their debut album R?publique Amazone featured guest contributions from the likes of Ang?lique Kidjo and Nigerian singer-songwriter Nneka, and caught the attention of President Obama, who included one of the songs in his 20 favourite tracks of 2017. In 2020, they release their follow-up album Amazones Power, on which familiar voices appear alongside a younger generation of singers who represent the exciting new sound of modern Africa.
