They called him Bakonoba! Mr Big Belly! Chorus x2 Fatoumata Diawara - vocals/guitar Moh Kouyate - electric guitar Seb Rochford - drums Sola Akingbola - percussion Hilaire Penda- bass

Rarely do I fall in LOVE with an artist "at first song". But with Fatoumata Diawara I did. And that song was "Bissa". Absolutely perfect. I keep liking each new song I hear. Wow

[@atgunchev]

Exactly the same happened to me, in the same order too :)

[@JM-xh8mu]

I fell in love with Fatoumata's smile & voice 5-6 years ago when she sang together with the other great singer from Mali Oumou Sangare in *Herbie Hancok's Imagine.* Ever since I've been searching her songs like crazy. She is impossible to resist :)

Makes me feel happy. They sound great, and she's even beautiful, which is completely unnecessary to sing but there you are.

[@lamiokorw]

I love this song so much. I've been repeating it so many times! I just love how she sings so effortlessly and the smiles and dancing makes it even better!

[@Gurci28]

'a type of music that goes straight to mind. a sound that adds. eloquent. and she performs very well on stage. charismatic leadership '
