Sia Tolno - African Woman (2014)

Sia Tolno's explosive new album "African Woman" is prouced by Afrobeat legend Tony Allen and carries on in the same way as many of his classic recordings. Explosive: a woman takes up Afrobeat! The Yoruba, funk, jazz fusion of Afrobeat is rough, rowdy and political. It was introduced at the end of the 60s by the prince of the Nigerian resistance, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Yet Guinea's Sia Tolno is not afraid to take up Fela's torch. Her third album, African Woman, challenges male supremacy in a forceful style derived from Ghanaian 'high-life'.
