Rokia Traoré (born January 26, 1974) is a Victoires de la Musique award-winning Malian singer, songwriter and guitarist, born in Mali as a member of the Bambara ethnic group. Her father was a diplomat and she travelled widely in her youth. She visited such countries as Algeria, Saudi Arabia, France and Belgium and was exposed to a wide variety of influences. Her hometown of Kolokani is in the northwestern part of Mali's Koulikoro region.
While the Bamana have a tradition of griot performing at weddings, members of the nobility, such as Rokia, are discouraged from performing as musicians. Rokia attended lycée in Mali while her father was stationed in Brussels and started performing publicly as a university student in Bamako. Rokia plays acoustic guitar as well as sings, and she uses vocal harmonies in her arrangements which are rare in Malian music. In 1997, she linked with Mali musician Ali Farka Touré which raised her profile. She won an Radio France Internationale prize as "African Discovery" of 1997, an honor previously won by Mali's Habib Koité in 1993. As well as guitar she plays ngoni (lute) and balafon.

Rokia Traoré - @ The Festival Les Suds in Arles 01.08.2013 Auf den Reisen zwischen ihrem Geburtsland Mali, den Vereinigten Staaten, dem Nahen Osten und Europa schreibt Rokia Traoré eine Musik, von der sie selbst behauptet, sie sei „weder Pop noch Jazz noch Klassik -- sondern etwas sehr Zeitgemäßes auf traditionellen Instrumenten".

Rencontre avec la chanteuse malienne Rokia Traoré à l'occasion de la sortie de son nouvel album Beautiful Africa (Nonesuch/Warner).
Une nouvelle destination. C'est un peu la direction qu'a voulu prendre Rokia Traoré en confiant la production de son nouvel album, "Beautiful Africa", à John Parrish. L'univers du musicien et producteur britannique, grand complice de PJ Harvey, a beau être à des années-lumière de celui de la chanteuse malienne, la rencontre inattendue offre de réelles étincelles sonores. Des textures électriques, un brin abrasives, dans lesquelles l'ancienne protégée d'Ali Farka Touré love sa voix feutrée si singulière. Une manière aussi pour elle d'échapper aux carcans des poncifs et des genres tout en gardant l'esprit blues qui caractérise l'essence de sa musique, de ses chansons. Le temps d'un podcast, Rokia Traoré raconte la naissance de ce cinquième album, revient sur son travail avec Parrish, évoque ...

L'artiste malienne Rokia Traoré est venue au Women's Forum, à Deauville, "pour rencontrer des femmes et être au courant de ce qui se passe, ce qui est très important quand on a commencé un métier par amour [de ce métier] et que l'on se retrouve avec un rôle qui nous dépasse..." L'artiste malienne partage avec ActuElles la conception de son rôle, les activités de sa fondation (fondation Passerelle) et donne son point de vue sur les relations entre hommes et femmes, les convenances sociales, la double culture... " L'émancipation fait peur, pas forcément parce qu'on est contre, mais parce qu'on ne comprend pas." "Mon atout pour convaincre, c’est le capital confiance dont je bénéficie." "J’ai une réelle double culture."
