"Les Amazones d'Afrique: when music empowers women" LE MONDE
West Africa's first female supergroup, Les Amazones d'Afrique, brings together female singers united in the fight against violence against women. Whether undisputed stars or well-kept secrets, the musicians participating in this project are all among the most acclaimed voices in West African music: Kandia Kouyaté, Mamani Keita, Rokia Koné, Angélique Kidjo, Nneka, Inna Modja, Mariam Koné, Mouneissa Tandina, Pamela Badjogo, Mariam Doumbia (Amadou & Mariam). With elegance, the collective blends generations and energies. An "All-Star", you might say. Yes, but not only: the greatest current Malian female singers and musicians unite to fight for the freedom to be a woman, to be a musician, in Africa, and elsewhere. Les Amazones d'Afrique use their tours to raise awareness about the role of women in society. The profits from their first single 'I Play the Kora' will be donated to the Panzi Foundation, whose actions have provided assistance to over 40,000 women and girls, including nearly 20,000 victims of sexual violence.
