It's true most of people doesn't know Bi kidude real name......

Fatuma binti Baraka (aka Bi.Kidude) is a Zanzibar Taarabu singer. She is considered the 

undisputed queen of Taarabu and Unyago music and is also a protégé of Siti Binti Saad. Bi 

Kidude was born in the village of Mfagimaringo, she was the daughter of a coconut seller in 

colonial Zanzibar. Bi Kidude's exact date of birth is unknown, much of her life story is 

uncorroborated, giving her an almost mythical status.

In 2005 Bi Kidude received the prestigious WOMEX award for her outstanding 

contribution to music and culture in Zanzibar.





If you check Facebook Page of Bi Kidude you will find only 15 people talk about Kidude and only 600 people who liked the page but now more than 1000 of people talk about her death... tooo bad!
