Kandia Kouyaté |
Passion or Profession: Singer
Period:
Kandia Kouyate was born into the Mandika griot class, which means that her social status indicated that she should become a traditional singer. However, her father wanted her to attend school, so she had to fight to become what she is now—one of the most famous voices in Mali. She is seen as a poet, historian, and community leader, and her voice is considered a national treasure.
