	Frank Bessem's Musiques d'Afrique: Fanta Damba
		Trained by the best griots of the country, she was already famous in Mali by the age of 16, and in 1975, she was the first jalimuso to perform as a solo singer in Europe (source: The African Music Encyclopedia).
		Fanta Damba has been acknowledged to be an inspiring example for young Mory Kante, Youssou N'Dour or Rokia Traoré who would grow world stars decades later.
		To give an illustration of the importance of both singers: the Palais des Congrès in Bamako, whose rooms are named after famous griots of Mali, has both a salle Fanta Damba N° 1 and a salle Fanta Damba N° 2.

		If you're bothered with birds or squirrels nesting in your gutters, or crawl spaces, playing this album at high volume may rid you of the critters without having to use traps or poisons.
		Fanta Damba sings traditional African music in a style that is foreign to most ears.
		It's not meant to be melodic, it's meant to depict daily experiences: experiences, circumstances, and occurrences far different from the plights of those not acquainted with Africa's social/political and living problems.

	BBC - Radio 3 - World - Guide to World Music: Mali
		Maitresse of the austere Bamana style of praise singing, Fanta Damba was a national symbol in the post-independence era.
		Born in 1968 in Ségou (home of the classical Bamana style), she combines, like many of her generation of griottes, a large measure of respect for the old traditions (she was trained by Fanta Damba), with a full-on acceptance of Congolese, Antillean and other popular local influences.
		Fanta Sacko's preference for personal and emotional themes over standard praise-singing, and her kora-inflected accoustic guitar backing were revolutionary and highly influential at the beginning of the 1970s.

	Charlie Gillett -The Sound of the World Playlist (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The only recordings I have of Fanta Damba are on a various artists double-CD-album called Musique du Mali, which I don’t know as intimately as I should.
		When Mory chose the song Tara that was credited to Fanta Damba, I was not alert to the danger that the album actually contains an entirely different recording of the song, an instrumental by the kora maestro, Batrou Sekou Kouyate.
		Mory quickly realised it was the wrong version, but it sounded so good, we let it go to the end, leaving a perplexed audience to wonder at the absence of the singer he had described so well.
