Sia Tolno

Tolno’s strapping, pliable alto is sometimes likened to that of South African singer, Miriam Makeba - and, in grittier moments, to a female version of the percussive Afrobeat groaner Fela Kuti. Her omnivorous Afropop, which fuses everything from Congolese rumba to contemporary rock and soul, is likewise as prophetic as that of her predecessors.(The Washington Post)
