With irony, humor, and provocation, she explores the paradoxes of human beings: societal issues and contradictions in protecting the planet, the quest for artificial happiness dictated by social media, the defense of “nothing is ever written” and individual freedoms versus the social hypocrisy that surrounds us...

Directed by Tom Excell and with the collaboration of Fatoumata Diawara, Tom Excell, Edouard Coquard, Bruno Guglielmi, and his stage musicians (Nubiyan Twist, Onipa, David Walters, etc.), this opus “Happy People” features catchy melodies, Afro-pop rhythms, saxophone riffs evocative of the world of Mulatu Astatke, and the celestial sound of the k'mele ngoni, which dialogues with Siân's powerful yet delicate voice.

A touch of UK Afro Pop brings a luminous and unifying freshness to this EP.
