When I first heard Oumou's music it was over! I instantly fell in love with her voice despite the fact that I have no clue what the heck she's saying!
I felt the need to share her music. But convincing people to check out some new Wassoulou music that descended from traditional hunting songs in Mali would be rather difficult, don't you agree??
So I decided to mess around and give one of her songs "the house treatment" I can't tell you how many great artists I've discovered through housemusic remixes over the years... I'm sure I'm not alone on this one.
So download, listen and feel free to share this with your DJ buds, but most importantly check out Ms. Sangare's full releases and support her beautiful music.
Oumou Sangare is Mali's great diva, and one of the world's most astounding female voices. Her idiom is the hauntingly beautiful and hypnotically rhythmic home-grown music that has become her trademark: wassoulou.
Oumou Sangaré is considered an ambassador of Wassoulou, a historic & remote forest region south of the Niger River. She writes and composes her songs, which forcefully support social criticism, especially concerning the place of women and their low position in society.
Check out this Youtube Video I found of the Original Version :)
