It is with a very heavy heart that I share the sad news that Ramata Diakite, Diva of Wassoulou has passed to the ancestors on October 30, 2009.
We’ll post information and news as it becomes available here, and further information on how her legacy and music will live on. . .
In sadness,
Erich Ludwig, Manager of Ramata Diakite
Ramata Diakite 
I am deeply saddened to hear this news; during a trip to Mali in 2008, Ramata’s music changed my life.
With warmest wishes,
