Kandia KouyateMali |1959| French

Kandia Kouyaté (also known as Kandja Kouyaté, born in 1959 in Kita, Mali) is a Malian jelimuso (a female griot) and kora player; she has earned the prestigious title of ngara, and is sometimes called La dangereuse and La grande vedette malienne. Kouyaté's dense, emotional, hypnotic manner of singing and her lyrical talents have earned huge acclaim in Mali, though she remained relatively little known outside Africa, due to extremely limited availability of her recordings. Her home town of Kita is known for love songs, which form a large part of Kouyaté's repertoire. She also sings praise songs. Kouyaté's career began in the early 1980s, when she started using female choral vocals accompanying her. This practice was later picked up by stars like Mory Kante and Salif Keita, and is now an integral part of Malian music. In 1983, she recorded[2] two vinyl discs, Amary Daou présente Kandia Kouyaté and Kandja Kouyaté et L’Ensemble Instrumental National du Mali. Her debut solo album is Kita Kan.

Fela Kuti even honored him as "the father of modern Nigerian music." Campbell's journey was one of resilience, defying familial resistance to pursue music. Seeking solace with nationalist Herbert Macaulay, he flourished despite adversity. Post-World War II, he settled in London and formed a band that captivated VE Day celebrations. Bridging genres, Campbell's music melded jazz, calypso, and mento elements. A skilled guitarist, he recorded albums, toured globally, and collaborated widely.
