Les Amazones d'Afrique (English: 'The Amazons of Africa') is a contemporary world music supergroup formed in Mali in 2015 featuring Kandia Kouyaté, Angélique Kidjo, Mamani Keita, Rokia Koné, Mariam Doumbia (of Amadou & Mariam), Nneka, Mariam Koné, Massan Coulibaly, Madina N'Diaye, Madiaré Dramé, Mouneissa Tandina and Pamela Badjogo.

[2] Les Amazones d'Afrique performed their first concert at Fiesta des Suds in Marseilles in October 2015.

Its message is to encourage women coming together to sing about why they should "rise up and fight injustice because we're all equal", and profits from the sale of the track are donated to The Panzi Foundation, led by Doctor Mukwege in Bukavu (DRC), which has provided healing support to more than 80,000 women, nearly 50,000 of whom are victims of sexualised violence and female genital mutilation.

[4] The kora, a harp-like instrument native to West Africa, works as a metaphor: playing the kora was denied to women for years; only men were allowed the prestige.

Following their first UK performance at WOMAD Charlton Park in July 2016, Les Amazones d'Afrique were signed to Real World Records for the release of their first album, Republique Amazone (2017).
