Smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish, sang like an angel. I'm glad I got the chance to see her at WOMAD a couple of years ago. She will be missed.

Tonight I cried for the first time in a long, long time.

The beautiful, comforting voice is gone…

RIP, La Diva Aux Pieds Nus

Currently listening to her singing Yamore with Salif Keita, from the album Moffou. Sublime.

This saddens me greatly, I always enjoyed her music.

Never heard of her but after reading the bbc article and listening to the embedded song she sounds like an interesting women with a great voice that will be missed by those who know her. RIP.
