We asked Hadesh a little narritave on her life and this is what we got. Now in Hadesh own words: "My songs story started when I was about 7 years old in the desert of Mali. During that time, I lived with my aunt who adopted me when I was about 5 months old because my parents divorced and both of them remarried to their lovers. Therefore, I grew up in a tent in the middle of nowhere and around too many animals. My friends among those animals were lambs and bay goats. I also had three ducks, an ostrich, a rabbit, a deer, and a cat. Every morning, after our breakfast, all my animals followed me to the forest. The forest name is Tinaferan. Tinaferan is the name of a beautiful wild flower, which grows in abundance in that forest. Therefore, my songs started in Tinaferan. I even made necklaces for me and for the baby lambs and goats because they listened to my songs and danced to them. Those animals loved me and loved my voice so much that they gave up on their mothers and chose me as their mother. The baby lambs, and baby goats went to their mothers only when they needed some milk. In addition, whenever my animals got lost in the forest, to find them I would sing a song. When they heard my voice, they answered, "We are here," of course in their language. When I started to sing the baby lambs, and the baby goats did not stop dancing until I stopped singing. Then, they foraged for some grass to eat. In addition, after my animals and I had our dinner we slept together. I remember, one night while we were sleeping, a wolf got into our tent to get one of my baby lambs, and the baby lamb started wailing. We woke up, and then my two brothers ran after that big wolf to get me back my baby lamb. They ended up beating the wolf until it let go of the baby lamb and they saved my baby lamb. He had terrible Bruises on his neck, but he was safe. Sometimes, even now, I wonder why the wolf did not eat me instead. I was a somnambulist and sometimes while I was sleeping during night, I stood up and slept walked to the same spot where I sang during daytime. Therefore, once I got over there I slept until morning. However, in the morning, the sun was so hot that it woke me up. Then, I got angry with my aunt because I thought, she threw me over there because she did not love me anymore, and I cried. I was surprised why she did not look for me and I wondered if she was worried at all that the wolves would eat me."
