Rocking Rokia

Groundbreaking Malian artist Rokia Traore's thrilling set gave a distinctive opening to the final evening of the festival. Stunning Rokia introduced her performance by inviting her audience to 'enjoy musical moments together', and as she began with a haunting, atmospheric vibe, over which her incredible voice sparkled, it was clear that that was exactly what was in store.

Gradually shifting into a rapid, rolling pace, Rokia rocked out barefoot on stage to a sound which was completely her own - a mix of traditional Malian and many other musical styles.
