Why lions need historians

On Rendez-vous à Bobo this month I ask why lions need historians with artist Deanna Tyson whose exhibition "Until lions write their own history" is at the Centre of African Studies in Cambridge.


Baaba Maal by Deanna Tyson

Musical highlights include Fatoumata Diawara...  



Better known in Mali as an actress for her role in Burkinabé director Dani Kouyaté's film Sia le rêve du python, Fatou is one of the most exciting voices to emerge from Mali in recent years, and an outspoken advocate for Mali's culture of tolerance during the recent crisis.

We also hear from elder of South African music Sipho Mabuse, and kora player Ballaké Sissoko who performs with his quartet in Cambridge on Saturday 30th November.
