I can't find any coverage, no real improvement on the article to fix the concerns. Of the three references are two youtube and myspace. This article seems to be selfwritten or at least COI (User: Bab-a-lot) mabdul 20:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

• Keep--according to World Music Central, she won a Kora Award (I've added this reference to the article). That alone is more than enough to satisfy WP:MUSIC #8 ("Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award"). The sourcing is tough on this one, especially because I don't speak French, but she's clearly notable, especially in conjunction with the Abidjan TV reference in the article.
