Sadio Sidibe is an artist with enormous power. She plays Wassoulou music, and some compare her to singers such as Oumou Sangare or Nahawa Doumbia, both of whom also come from the Wassoulou region in south-east Mali. A new Malian style has been developing there since the 1970s. Sadio Sidibe is part of a generation of women who use their songs to stand up for the traditions of their homeland and the rights of women, children and future generations. That takes courage. Sadio Sidibe is one of the prominent representatives of Mali's large, diverse music scene. As a former dancer, she and her band bring energy, heart and passion to the stage.
