| Note | Fania has spent half her life in Africa and half in the West. She was born in a village of shepherders and farmers 400 kilometers from Dakar, Senegal. Her father is a Peul, a group of nomadic cattle farmers who have moved their beasts great distances to find the best pastures and roamed the area between the Nile Valley and the Atlantic Ocean for centuries. When she left the country at the age of 17, the young Senegalese woman took with her the memory of the gentle Sarakhole pastorals sung by her mother and the dances lit by the full moon of the Sahel night.
