(FILES) Malian singer Rokia Traore performs in Henry Purcell's opera "Dido and Aeneas (Didon et Enee)" directed by Vincent Huguet and conducted by Vaclav Luks during the International Festival of Lyric Art in the French southeastern city of Aix-en-Provence on July 3, 2018. A Belgian court on December 23, 2024, postponed the trial of Malian singer Rokia Traore to January 8, 2025, over an outstanding two-year prison sentence handed down in a child-custody dispute. The 50-year-old singer and guitarist was sentenced in absentia by a Brussels court last year on charges of parental abduction, in a long-running fight with Belgian playwright Jan Goossens, the father of her daughter -- now aged nine.
