Posted by LetsLoop on February 16, 2017, 11:35 am There is little doubt in our mind that Mali is one of the greatest hubs for musical talent right now, not only in Africa but worldwide. There are talents like the blind husband & wife duo of @Amadou & Mariam, the late blues guitarist @Ali Farka Touré, vocalist @Salif Keita, kora musician @Toumani Diabaté, supergroup @Les Amazones D'Afrique and Tuareg group @Tinariwen, who just last week released their stunning 7th album, Elwan.And that's not to mention the influence Malian music has had on other artists: from @Damon Albarn's Mali Music, to @Ry Cooder (of @Buena Vista Social Club fame)'s Talking Timbuktu with Ali Farka Touré, to @Manu Chao's work with Amadou & Mariam and Voyage à Bamako documentary, to artists like @Robert Plant, @Bonnie Raitt, @John Lee Hooker and more.
@Oumou Sangaré, aka The Songbird of Wassoulou, is the latest Malian artist to start to receive the global attention she deserves. Hailing from the capital city of Bamako, which you probably know best from Amadou & Mariam's stunning Dimanche à Bamako album, Oumou is a Grammy Award winning Wassoulou musician who has toured with African greats like @Baaba Maal & @Fela Kuti and collaborated with legendary artists like @Herbie Hancock, on The Imagine Project in 2010.
Oumou is also a women's rights activist, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and an impressive businesswoman: she is the owner of the 30-room Hotel Wassoulou in Bamako, a haven for musicians and her own regular performing space, and has even launched a car, the Oum Sang, manufactured by a Chinese firm and marketed in conjunction with her own company Gonow Oum Sang.
Yere Faga, a collaboration with Nigerian drummer, composer and songwriter @Tony Allen, is the lead single to her upcoming 7th album, Mogoya, which is out May 19th and follows up 2012's Kounadia.
