It helps us preserve our historic venue, deliver bold creative programmes, and invest in a sustainable, innovative future. This support allows us to direct funds where they have the greatest impact.
Fatoumata Diawara is pure energy, a magnetic force in contemporary African music whose voice carries the joy, pain and power of an entire continent. Singing in her mother tongue, Bambara, she transforms deeply personal stories into universal messages of hope, resilience and freedom.
A fearless storyteller, she confronts subjects like FGM and forced marriage with honesty and courage, turning her lived experience into art that uplifts as much as it challenges. On stage, she’s electric: bold, emotional, playful – able to make audiences laugh, cry and dance within the same breath.
A true icon of modern African music, Diawara’s live performances are moments of blistering intensity and unfiltered expression. Catch her at Roundhouse for an unforgettable night of voice, rhythm and spirit.
