Traoré had always been a traveler, but in 2009, she decided to move back to Mali. The album features 10 original songs and a cover of Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." Né So features guest performances by John Paul Jones and Traoré's labelmate Devendra Banhart, along with Burkinabe drummer Moïse Ouattara, Ivorian bassist Matthieu N'guessan, long-time collaborator Malian ngoni player Mamah Diabaté, guitarists Rodriguez Vangama and Stefano Pilia, and backing vocalists Bule Mpania, Russell Tshiebua, and Stefy Rika. The album was produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, Tracy Chapman), who also produced her 2013 record, Beautiful Africa. Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Rokia Traoré's sixth album, Né So (Home), was released by Nonesuch Records on February 12, 2016.
