Fruit of a long maturation, her new album marks an important step in the journey of this genuine artist with rare sensitivity. Three vowels and two consonants, like a suave and singing unit: the name Awa Ly is already a vocal harmony. As a child, Awa sang instinctively and did not think of making it her profession. The idea imposed itself later, as the young woman seemed destined for a brilliant career as a producer. One does not cheat with one's destiny: just as Awa, listening to her heart, left France to settle in Rome, she will not hesitate to fully commit to an artistic path. Occasionally an actress, she decides to fully dedicate herself to music and records, in 2014, a first EP titled Awa Ly. Her blend of folk, jazz, and influences from world music captivates, in France as in Italy, and the concerts follow one another. Fruit of a long maturation, her new album marks an important step in the journey of this genuine artist with rare sensitivity. It is strongly anchored in her aesthetic with an even more marked presence and assurance. Regarding it, Awa evokes a "tribal, mysterious, and mystical atmosphere" inspired first by nature, roots, and the earth. Acoustic folk is adorned with blues, hypnotic metrics, and unaccented but deep laments.
