Its a warm Saturday afternoon in Cape Town. Music lovers are beginning to trickle into the CTICC hosting the Cape Town International Jazz Festival CTIJF. Im in the media centre, excited for my next interview of the day.
In walks Fatoumata Diawara, the artist I have been looking forward to speaking to.
She immediately greets everyone, then turns to look at me and says: I love your hair. Im donning my Afro curled-wig. Surprised with a big smile on my face, I respond with a Thank you!
