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."

I'm Indonesian...
The other place that have millions of musical instruments, from Aceh to Papua...
I'm from Kabanjahe, North Sumatra, and my tribe is Karo Batak.
When I hear this song, makes me tears, I don't understand Bamanankan (Bambara) Language, it's tones, from the instrument called "N'goni", reminds me about our instruments that sounded same. Like my instrument called "Kulcapi" (2 stringed lute), this song is awesome.
Example of Kulcapi: https://youtu.be/4RzUHDgTmGA?si=nyjK7RtK_i64NsiL
maybe we're same after all, Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Je me nomme Abdoulaye Fall je suis de nationalité sénégalaise
Comprenant rien des paroles de cette mélodie merveilleuse
Je suis un Amoureux de ce beau pays qui est le Mali qui a sût garder l’originalité de sa belle culture
Cette dame Oumou me donne la stabilité et la paix du cœur
Comme disait l’autre la chose que j’aime dans cette vie c’est d’être Africain notre culture n’est pas dans les livres d’histoire notre musique n’est pas sur la liste des oscars notre peuple n’est pas reconnu à sa juste valeur mais l’aromat et les sensations que tu sens quand tu écoutes une voix comme celle la et largement suffisant pour savoir que L’AFRIQUE est la mère de la race humaine
Merci Oumou que le bon dieu une très longue vie et une santé de fer

@MrNgefo
Oumou........this is heven. Am from Kenya - East Africa. I don't understand a word but this one made me tear............too passionate, its bewitching. Since I discovered Oumou, I discovered LIFE. What is she singing about? and the instrumentation.....and back up singers!!!!!!! If there is heven, and if I end up there....this is what I want to here there.........
