Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. Les Amazones D'Afrique is a creative force that embraces international voices; sweet, strong harmonies that summon the rights of women and girls; and a meltdown of heritage and new gen talent. They were formed in Bamako, Mali, in 2014 by three renowned Malian music stars and social change activists, Mamani Ke�ta, Oumou Sangar� and Mariam Doumbia, and the collective has since expanded to involve many female artists from across Africa and the diaspora. Their debut album R�publique Amazone featured guest contributions from the likes of Ang�lique Kidjo and Nigerian singer-songwriter Nneka, and caught the attention of President Obama, who included one of the songs in his 20 favourite tracks of 2017. In 2020, they release their follow-up album Amazones Power, on which familiar voices appear alongside a younger generation of singers who represent the exciting new sound of modern Africa.
