Pan-African collective Les Amazones d\u2019Afrique<\/a><\/span> is back with Amazones Power<\/em>, the sequel to the widely acclaimed 2017 debut album, Republique Amazone<\/em>.<\/h4>\n

In 2017, Les Amazones d\u2019Afrique made a huge impact with their debut album, R\u00e9publique Amazone, s<\/em>inging out against gender inequality. The supergroup originally constitutes of Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo<\/a><\/span>, Kandia Kouyat\u00e9, Mamani Keita, Mariam Doumbia. This time, Les Amazones reach has also extended further, bringing in new voices and rising stars from across Africa, including Beninese vocalist Fafa Ruffino, Guinean musician, dancer and artist Niariu, <\/strong>France-based rapper DJ Moesha13 and also Roselyne Belinga, Nancy Murillo, Nacera Ouali Mesbah, Vale\u0301rie Tribord, Vale\u0301rie Belinga, Abby Surya and Patricia Essong.<\/p>\n

The new album also features the welcome return of Rokia Kon\u00e9, aka \u201cThe Rose Of Bamako\u201d, who brings glorious soul and wry detail to highlights such as the inspirational \u2018Queens\u2019.  It’s a creative force that embraces international voices; sweet, strong harmonies that summon the rights of women and girls; a meltdown of heritage and new gen talent.<\/p>\n
