"I'm going into the future with African heritage," she summed up to TV5 Monde in early 2019, talking about her album Barokan. For this opus, the Montreal griot, with a magnificent and powerful voice, worked with Caleb Rimtobaye, alias Afrotonix, follower of the Afrofuturist movement and crowned best African DJ in 2018. The result is an audacious, critically acclaimed production where Mandingo traditions and desert blues ripple beautifully under a fascinating synthetic breeze.
