Sister Fa-Sarabah - Video
PUBLISHED:  May 21, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
Fatou Mandiang Diatta, known under the name Sister Fa, was born 1982 in Dakar, Senegal. Sister Fa is Senegal's Queen of hip-hop. But getting to the top wasn't an easy road - for a woman to break through in an almost exclusively male field within a male-dominated society, it was a long hard journey. Struggle breeds
compassion, and Sister Fa uses her international album
debut Sarabah -- Tales from the Flipside of Paradise to
speak out against the injustices rampant in her native
country. Warm, groovy and unmistakably African, her raps,
in Wolof, Manding, Jola and French, roll elegantly over
beats as well as traditional sounds (kora and djembe),
delivering tracks far removed from rap cliches, and more influenced by 80s Old Skool hip-hop than current rap trends.
