Quotes
[edit]- The first time (I toured) the United States was a dream come true; this time it’s to make my name truly well-known
- This time it’s with more assurance and more confidence.”
- You have to evolve with the times
- Life is long, and there are always obstacles,Whatever I do, I do clearly with all my strength.
- My objective is to see the young girls singing, taking the stage, and doing things for themselves. There are many more women who have become artists — 70 percent of new artists (in Mali) are women — and even those who don’t have the voice to sing accompany others in dance groups or they dance. A lot has changed, even in my city of Timbuktu.
- My music makes me feel young.
