Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, guitarist, and actress Fatoumata Diawara is debuting the video for the track "Somaw" featuring Angie Stone.   

The song is a sincere and powerful declaration of love to family, an essential anchor point for the two artists accustomed to long international tours. While communication comes naturally, the painful distance makes reunions a real source of rejuvenation.

The song is from Fatoumata's recent critically acclaimed album London Ko, which features a dazzling arrangement of Wassoulou traditions and international influences from a diverse range of collaborators, including Damon Albarn, Roberto Fonseca, Stone and more.
