I have 3 African divas that I love to listen to. Ami Koita and Oumou Sangare from Mali, and Viviene from Senegal. She is the sister-in-law of Mbalax superstar Youssou Ndour.

check 'm out here, pity it's so short! I've seen him loads of times in concerts - sadly, not in Senegal when I was there - but never had the pleasure of seeing her yet.

Re: Viviane

Hmm, wonder if that is Diamond Fingers on the guitar there. Sounds like him. A.k.a. Sekouba Bambino. Another amazing musician.
