In march 2006, Sister Fa moves to Berlin, Germany, to live with her husband, an Austrian ethnologist and documentary filmmaker. In Berlin, she continues her social and political engagement. She participated at a compilation of the bpb (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung) on the subject “Pop and Islam” which was released under the title Many Lessons with the label Piranha. Since her arrival Sister Fa also played concerts, e.g. at the Ethno-Film-Festival in Dahlem, Berlin, 2006, at Yaam in Berlin and at Backstage in Munich.
It was in Berlin as well where she met the members of her future band. Since two years now, Sister Fa is constantly developing her repertoire and her style with these professional Jazz musicians. Traditional Senegalese rhythms are joined by rap beats, soul, jazz and reggae elements.
In the meantime, she discovered her amazing singing voice which alouds her to switch with ease between rap, African melodies and pure soul.
