Hawa Boussim

Hawa Boussim (born c. 1971 in Kipoura, Boulgou Province, Burkina Faso) is a Burkinabé singer.

Hawa Boussim was born around 1971 in Kipoura, in the province of Boulgou, Burkina Faso, just a few kilometres from the border with Ghana.

[1][2] From the age of 14, she sang for her community for various occasions like baptisms, weddings and funerals but she wasn't given an opportunity of a complete education.

Thanks to a member of her family, Jean-Pierre Boussim, director of a radio station in Zabré, the opportunity arose to record her first self-produced album, Môbidoré, in 2011.

She has performed in stages in West Africa, from Burkina Faso to the Ivory Coast, in Europe and in the United States.
