Sessime is a successful and charismatic artist from Benin. She鈥檚 won or been nominated for several awards, and has a string of vibrant and danceable hits to her name. It鈥檚 no wonder she is sometimes compared to her superstar countrywoman Anglique Kidjo.

In this programme, Sessime shares how pressure from fans to marry and have children became so unbearable it sent her into a deep depression, and made her temporarily unable to compose or write songs. She came back with a direct challenge to her oppressors in the song Tatouage, which is a passionate plea for tolerance.
