After Amadou’s death, Mariam’s voice has acquired a new depth. Born in Bamako, she met Amadou at the Institut des jeunes aveugles, and together they formed a long-standing artistic duo that produced songs now part of the collective memory, from «Je pense à toi» to «Beaux Dimanches». On stage with her musicians, Mariam keeps their heritage alive while presenting material from her recent album L’Amour à la folie, creating a luminous and sensitive celebration.
