Mali gave the world the DNA of the blues, and Fatoumata electrifies that legacy with raw, self-taught power

Mali gave the world the DNA of the blues, and Fatoumata electrifies that legacy with raw, self-taught power. Her playing merges traditional Wassoulou rhythms with modern global influences, honoring the past while pushing the sound forward into uncharted territory. Her passion for the Epiphone Muse SG led to a collaboration, and we are honored to announce that Fatoumata is the first woman of color to receive an Epiphone signature guitar, a milestone that highlights her extraordinary contributions to music and encourages future generations to follow their creative aspirations. Introducing the Fatoumata Diawara SG, a new guitar that blends artistry and functionality.
