The Botanique and the Esperanzah! festival will, for the first time, collaborate with CNCD-11.11.11 to organise a concert for the launching of the 11.11.11 Operation, on Friday 7th November at the Cirque Royal.
After being present to a lot of festivals during this summer, Rokia Traoré comes back to the Cirque Royal. It will take her 5 years to compose and record her last album "Tchamantché". Variously compared to Tracy Chapman, Enya, Carly Simon, Björk, Joan Baez, and Sinead O'Connor, Traore has transcended all such comparisons through an inventive and reverent blend of traditional and contemporary, and she has firmly established her place as a major name in contemporary African music.
