Tiken Jah Fakoli

Reggae singer, Mali

Tiken Jah Fakoly is a reggae singer from Cote d'Ivoire, who has been playing music to "wake up the consciences" since 1987. His music speaks about the many injustices done to Africans in general and to the people of his country. His outspokenness led to exile from Côte d'Ivorie to Bamako, Mali. In 2009 he has campaigned for education under the project "Un concert, une école" (One concert, one school), through which he was able to finance the construction of a school and a college in Mali. He continues to sing for education, equality and justice.
