Oumou Sangare Music from Mali


Sangare's vibrant electro-acoustics take on infectiously funky Wassoulou sounds of Southern Maliland.

The voice of Oumou Sangare is a extensive and agile, rhythmically emphatic and deeply soulful, her music emanates style and grace.

"Seya" her latest album benefits from fantastic arrangements combining contemporary and traditional instruments in ways that add further nuance to her emotive singing with pungent social commentary.

This is a subtle masterpiece, a journey through roots music/acoustic/Afro-beat that you need to listen.

Not to be missed.

Manifesto: a means of expression
