SINIMUSO

SINIMUSO – the Women of the Future in Bambaran language – was born in 2022 as a part of the project 'World Wide Women – female musicians crossing borders and building futures'. The project focuses on female musicians and their agencies in four different continents. In SINIMUSO, the focus is on female instrumentalists and different music traditions in Mali and Finland.

SINIMUSO is leading the way to the future by bringing seven virtuosic female musicians and their border crossing cooperation to the spotlight. The outcome is combining the powers of women and music, and the topics are related to the lives of the women, and to the futures we want to create. SINIMUSO's music fuses Malian and Finnish traditions. The band's debut album, Nouskaa Sisaret, will be released in October 2024, along with a release tour in the Nordic Countries.

The group consists of seven female instrumentalists and singers from Mali and Finland:

Bintou Koita, percussions, vocals
Jenni Hanikka, wind instruments, vocals
Kadidiatou Bah, vocals
Marieta Dembélé, drums
Marjo Smolander, concert kantele, carbon string kantele, vocals
Ouassa Sogoba, bala, vocals
Tima Maiga, guitar, vocals
