Faratuben

Sira Kura

The music of Faratuben is clearly from this millennium with lots of synthesizers and clubbeats, but still rooted in the traditions from the bobo-villages, that the 3 malian musicians were taught by their father. With their debut album from 2018, Sira Kura (new direction), the band tells a story of social injustice in their native Mali, where the bobo-culture is still struggling for acceptance in society. But, the record is also an international call for understanding and embracing our differences, in a divided world. When not touring outside Africa, the group continue to perform traditional ceremonies in Mali, as well as supporting other bobo artists like Salome Dembele and Ben Zabo.
