Have you ever come across one of those songs that stop you dead in your tracks, and you can’t exactly work out way. Part of your barin tells you that you shouldn’t like it – it’s a very average song. Yet every time you hear it, it draws you in and you have to listen to it all the way through. You get to the end and you think it’s a fantastic song that could slay all before it. And then, because it’s not come from one of those fashionable countries, you quickly forget about how brilliant it is. Luckily, when Aminata Savadogo went on stage in Vienna last year, enough people around Europe (and Australia) remembered her to finish sixth, even if she wasn’t from one of those more ‘fashionable’ Eurovision countries. So prepare to be blown away by her song today. Aminata is 23 today.
