Wassoulou is descended from traditional hunting songs, and is accompanied by a calabash. Many of Sangare's songs concern love and marriage, especially freedom of choice in marriage. Her 1989 Moussoulou album was an unprecedented West African hit. In 1995, she toured with Baaba Maal, Femi Kuti and Boukman Eksperyans. Other albums include Ko Sira (1993), Worotan (1996), and a 2-CD compilation Oumou (2004), all released on Nonesuch Records.
Oumou's latest album "Seya",(Joy) released in 2009,has taken around two or three years to come to fruition. "I choose my songs very carefully. I learn how to put them across first on the stage." Her music is bold, seductive, funky and vibrant, but it's her lyrics that open people's eyes. "For me, the lyrics are more important than the melody. I write almost all my own words. I also perform the classics of Malian tradition. I draw a lot of inspiration from what happens in society. As soon as I see or feel something, I write it down. I say what I want, and what I think, because I am a free woman. I believe that my music has had an impact on the life of African women." "It's true that when I sing it's joyful but in amongst that joy I always take the opportunity to slip in messages that educate my nation."

on Sigi Kuruni
The lyrics to Oumou Sangare's song "Sigi Kuruni" address various aspects of marriage and the role of women within it. The title "Sigi Kuruni" translates to "the small seat" or "the little throne," which symbolizes the place of a married woman within her household. As a proto-feminist, Sangare uses irony in her lyrics to address the issues faced by women in marriage.
The song begins by acknowledging women as individuals who are part of the world and introduces the concept of the "small seat" as symbolic of the married life. Sangare sarcastically advises women to respond to their husband's calls and not make faces or show disdain, highlighting that their husbands are not accustomed to being humiliated. Similarly, she highlights the expectation of women not to raise opinions against their mothers-in-law or the brothers of their husbands.
In heavy irony, Sangare addresses domestic violence, inequality, and polygamy. In her metaphoric scenario, women are not to make a fuss or create problems if they are subjected to violence by their co-wives or in-laws, but rather leave it to God and focus on their own destinies

on Donso
Come now
Let's begin
Ooooooo
With a sense of anticipation
Africa love
The deep love for Africa
Abc its ise
It's about us
I liq countri at the bric
Living in a developing country
Sin a simple mélodie
Through a simple melody
Thets how isse love can be
That's how love can be expressed
Abc its isse i liq countri at the bric
It's about us living in a developing country
Sing a simple melodi tets how isse love can be
The lyrics given above are rubbish - it seems like they have given some AI program the task of interpreting the lyrics as if they were sung in English. Also it seems they are pretending Donso is a parody of ABC by the Jackson 5. If you want to know the meaning of the song - best to buy the album and the sleeve notes will be just the guide you need to the song's real meaning.
